[3-9-12][ROM][EP4D] InfinityROM - Verizon Droid Charge

NOTE: I will support this here as well, and am posting here so others can see the ROM as well. However, I will keep the post and information more up-to-date on Rootzwiki. I don't have time to browse through a bunch of different forums for support questions and other requests, so please keep that in mind when posting here.
With that being said, here is what you've been waiting for. This is the continuation of the last InfinityROM that was created based on the EP1W leak. A lot has changed since then, way to much to go through and update in the posts of the previous topic, so we are starting out fresh. This ROM is based on the official OTA that just recently got sent out to DROID Charge users everywhere. From there, it went through a major weight loss session, and got a full make over to get the wonderful orange and brown stock color scheme out. Much of the theming work was originally done by Retrokid223, and has been brought into this new ROM by myself. We went for a TouchWiz 4 look from the SGS2, mainly because it is currently the look that I like.
To go through a brief history of what this ROM has gone through to get to its current release state, here is a slight Cliff Notes run-down. I took the update and went from EE4 to EP4D. I then dumped the stock ROM from my phone and deodexed it. From there, I went to work taking out a bunch of stuff that people don't want, and things that are easily installed from the market. After that, I replaced a small handful of TouchWiz apps with their AOSP equivalents, and rethemed everything, updating icons and images as needed from newer SGS2 and also SGS ROMs that have been released into the wild since EP1W came out. A few tasteful mods have also been added, and from here, TSM Parts will follow shortly.
This ROM is mainly so people can continue to use InfinityROM and the latest update without having the ugly stock color scheme. I will try to keep a TSM Parts free version updated as changes are made, but not everything will remain free of TSM parts changes forever. This initial release does not have anything major TSM additions in it yet, but those are on their way for the people that want them (myself included). Many apps have remained stock, though they have been rethemed to ditch the stock color scheme. The reason for this is to keep the added functionality of the TouchWiz versions, cause the AOSP versions of many of the apps are lacking in the usability department. Stuff that has been replaced has been from a stock, deodexed dump of 2.3.7 from the Nexus S.
To go with the great ROM, is a great repacked kernel. Since you can only do so much to a stock kernel when repacking it, I kept the EP4P kernel from the last test version of the ROM with the current update. This will be replaced in the coming weeks once I can get a source built kernel going. There are only minor changes to the kernel that is included, so it's nothing really special, but it gets the job done.
Screenshots will be added at a later date, along with what are likely to be several additions that users can put into the ROM (stock keyboards and other items). For now, this is what you get, and stay tuned for future updates, as there is more to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get root access?
Download and install Superuser from the market. The su binary that is required should already be there via the kernel, all that is required is its complimentary application.
How do I install the ROM?
See the first post of this thread.
How do I go from XXX to this ROM?
The fastest way to go to this ROM from anything is by downloading and flashing the ROM+Kernel on EXT4 package. That will format your partitions to EXT4 and then install the kernel and ROM. Note that this will wipe all of your user data in the process, so be sure to backup anything you may want prior to flashing.
Where is Gmail, YouTube, Maps, etc.
All Google applications were removed from the ROM. This was to make sure that you are running an up-to-date version on your device and it also saves some bandwidth when the ROM is downloaded.
Does this kernel support Voodoo?
The kernel does not use the Voodoo Lagfix functions. However, it does fully support EXT4 partitions. Voodoo Lagfix is meant so partitions can be converted to and from RFS/EXT4. To do this, the boot process is slowed down for partition checks and conversion. To avoid this, I just enabled EXT4 support so you can still reap the benefits of the improved read/write capabilities without having to wait for the phone to boot up.
Voodoo sound is another matter entirely and can be enabled (in part) by using Voodoo Control Plus. This will allow you to load a beta Voodoo Sound driver that supports many of the functions of Voodoo Sound. Until source code is release for Gingerbread though, full Voodoo Sound support will be unavailable.
Does this kernel support overclocking?
No it does not. Source code will need to be released before many features, such as overclocking can be included.
Do you have plans to include XXX in your ROM?
The current plans for this ROM are to bring in TSM parts, and any updates to that it receives as well. There may be some other updates outside of TSM Parts, but currently, there are no other major plans. If you would like to see something included, please link to what you would like and it will be taken into consideration.
I am having xxx issue, can you fix it?
We can certainly try, however, we will need some information from you first. In order to fix a problem, we need as much information as possible from you about it. Please provide details of the issue, such as the application name you are having problems with. If you can reproduce the issue consistently, provide the details on how to do so, that way we can attempt to recreate it ourselves. If it is a graphical glitch, try to get a screenshot of the problem, or a regular camera picture. The most valuable information you can provide is logcat output, see below on capturing a good log for us.
How can I get a good log of a problem I am having?
There are two methods you can use to get a log for us. The easiest method is to use aLogcat from the market. An alternative method is to use adb on your computer. If you do not know how to save the adb output from logcat to a text file, I recommend using aLogcat. Once you are ready to capture a log, start logcat from adb, or aLogcat. With the log still running in the background, recreate your issue several times (3 to 4 times should be sufficient). Once you have recreated the issue multiple times, stop the logging and save the log file. With aLogcat, it will be saved to your SDCard. Then, take your log output and send it to us, preferably via PM. The reason we request via PM is that sometimes, logcat can capture personal information, such as your email address or phone number. Rest assured that we have no interest in this and will use the output strictly as a debugging tool to help fix whatever issue you are reporting. We hate spam just as much as you do. I have also attempted to remove as much of the debugging output of personal information as possible, but I can't catch everything. In any event, I still recommend learning to use logcat from the Android SDK, as it is an invaluable tool.
Also, if you are reporting a graphical bug (something that needs themed), please get a screenshot of what you see that needs changed. Note that we cannot change everything. If it is from an application that is not included with the ROM, it may be much harder to fix the problem as sometimes apps do not pull their color information from the ROM and hard code their own colors. This is most noticeable in the quick panel notifications. However, it is still possible that something was missed, so feel free to submit reports of anything that you feel has yet to be themed.
Help, I restarted into recovery and lost all of my data!
This is an issue that affects people randomly. My opinion is that you can deal with it for the time being. I recommend using a good backup solution that doesn't involve recovery. I say this because I test ROMs and have had my data wiped hundreds of times due to testing over the past several weeks. If I can deal with resetting everything all the time as the developer, you, as the user, should also be able to make due until a permanent solution can be found.
How can I thank you for your work?
Just click the thanks button on our posts. We do this for fun, but if you wish to a monetary donation, click the Donate button by my Profile Picture.
How can I get XXX app to vibrate on new notifications?
It seems that some applications are ignoring the global vibrate notification setting. To fix this, go into the application and press the menu button and go to settings (or however you get to the application settings). Find the notification settings, and turn on vibrate. It seems that messaging is the biggest complain among people, and this should solve the problem.
I created a theme for your ROM but have no where to host it
If you send me a link to your theme, I will host it for you on my site (imnuts.org). Note that I may not get to your message for hosting immediately, and also I won't host any theme that isn't tasteful and clean. If I find out that you are porting a theme without permission, your file(s) will be removed immediately and any further actions appropriate will be taken.
Can XXX be added to the FAQ?
While we strive to keep up with posts, sometimes we may overlook a repeated question or issue. If you see something you would like posted in the FAQ, feel free to ask. We only ask that you put your request in the following format:

Thanks....cant wait to see how it looks!!!

awesome job bud
it can be a pain to maintain rom threads across multiple forums, but there are those that only frequent one forum so its helpful to them

You are the man! Can't wait for tw4.

just wondering...how long should it take for first boot?
been hangin out at this SGII logo for about 5 minutes
EDIT: battery pull, reboot to recovery, wiped dc, boots fine now

I usually hang out here and on RootzWiki so if I ever see any questions about this ROM, I'll try to answer them as best as I can for you (imnuts).

That happens occasionally on any rom after a dalvik wipe. Not sure why, but it seems like something just gets hung up sometimes.

LOVE IT!!!!!!
Thanks for the new rom. Works great and I love the color scheme. I just wish I could find some GS2 widgets that would work with this rom and I'd be set for life

Look at the GT-I9100 (SGS2) and it's stock look/theme and that is basically what this will look like. You could also get an idea of the look from the T-Mo/Sprint SGS2 variants, as well as several original SGS variant Gingerbread updates. I'll post some screenshots then when I get a chance to take them.

Awesome ROM!! Running smooth as butter. Only downside is i've already had the random data wipe after booting into recovery to flash the Minimal Theme. But I definitely like where this is going.

Sweet thanks, gave me another reason to stay up late and not talk to the wife.

Very nice
Very nice rom....clean slick to the point no bloat. I like being able to decide what is on my phone or not. Great Job, I may have a reason to keep this thing now...lol

Awesome and thanks! The Rom is working fabulously for me so far. Hoping that themers will take you up on your offer and begin themeing soon. Always love blue based themes myself.
Thanks again for the Rom!
Oh, by the way, do you plan on always packaging your kernel with the Rom or will you ever separate it as a stand alone download?

Thank you to all who tested. Now start getting your phones ready for the final build.
Themers:
Check Post #2 for a package of app & framework files. A good majority of the apps are from FRF91 Vanilla Android build so if you have packages that already work with that build then most should work here. Please make sure all packages are compatible. Please use the framework-res.apk provided since it is unique to this ROM. It is much different than the OEM Drodi2 packages.
ROM Developers:
Feel free to use this as a base for your own ROM. Please just respect us and give Matt, Drod and myself the proper credit and a link back to the threads.
History:
Being bored one day and sick of Blur with all the extra services I started to rip the ROM apart. Finally getting it as clean as I can and being forced to have a bit of blur I began a search on how to get rid of it all. I ended up on the MotoDev website to see what I can find when I bumped into the D2 SDK. Shockingly it was a plain vanilla build of Android. I thought why not and tried to boot it up. Ii did ( see first video here[/URL] ) with lots of bugs. The screen res as all off and we had no radio or many other hardware functions. On top of that it ran like a turtle stuck in some molasses. I sent a message of my my buddy Matt4542 and our journey began. From there Drod and I hooked up and now we have this. It has been a long rough week getting this sucker to where it is now. It was fun, frustrating and we nearly killed each other a few times but all ended well since we have a great finished project.
We kind of built AOSP ROM by hand. Some may say it is not a true AOSP ROM but it is. There is no difference between this build and a true AOSP ROM besides any tweaks that the developer may add when creating a ROM from source. We had no choice to do it this way since Moto locked us out of the bootloader (for now and next project). Many of the apps are built from source. About 90% of the app folder is built from source. We added some packages from the D2 that are a bit better and required for hardware reasons. There is NO Blur left in the ROM but for a moto-res.apk file that is required by the framework.
What will this ROM do?
It will give you a true Android Vanilla experience much in the same way the Original Droid (OD) did. It is not loaded with bloatware and everything functions as it should. Facebook will sync with your contacts and you will not have all of your memory being used by wasteful stuff on top of much more. Your phone will run more smoothly and feel a lot faster.
What can you do to help?
The most important thing is to provide feedback. When reporting bugs please be clear and with detailed explanation. Do not say this does not work and leave it that. The more feedback you provide will make it easier and quicker for us to kill any bugs. You may also give us a small donation to help with our continuing development of ROM and *POSSIBLY* get this bootlader cracked. It cannot be done with one device. I have a couple of friends who have experience with low level programming of chips and with their help maybe it can get done. They are Blackberry guys and not going to buy a device just for this. This is nothing more than a promise that it will be tried. I cannot say when and IF it can be done so please keep the questions to a minimum about it. If the project takes off then I will have updates. You can donate to the project by clicking HERE.

I'll be the first to ask - do we need to do all of the wipes if we are upgrading from RC1?

is this the final build?? cause its version 1.0 and are you guys going to provide ota updates?? other than that rom looks AWESOME
Appreciate the hard work guys!

Works great! So much better than the stock D2 ROM.
Cell standby is still an issue

So far so good.
Only two minor things. There is no easy to get to end-call button, which you already know about, and it seems like there is not speech to text support. Not that I really use speech to text, but it could come in handy.
Edit: Nevermind. Might just need to enable it in settings.

Contact Ringtones still don't work
Otherwise, it's gRRRRRRRRReat!

Seems like some bad blood brewing over this ROM on the droidforums page for it. AngDroid/MotoBoy, we all greatly appreciate your work (you too Matt4542! (and anyone else who doesn't get as much time in the lime light!)). As long as you are satisfied with the outcome of the ROM we all appreciate you sharing it with us. Just ignore the lamers that expect you to jump at their every beck and call. It's the first AOSP type ROM for the Droid 2, very first of it's kind for a very locked down phone, which in and of itself is a great accomplishment. If you ever fix anything in Fission, great, if not, I'll continue to look forward to what you develop in the future.
I'm still also curious about your twitter post from the other day, talking about your new Fusion ROM series. Interested to see how that one differs from both stock and Fission.

I am getting the USB problem like I was getting in Beta II. It would connect fine when I first loaded the rom up, and then half the day would pass by and then I can't connect the phone to the computer. Kind of weird. Pretty sure that I can charge from the wall. Just not sure why the USB isn't working.

I wonder if it's something underlying with your phone that's causing that issue. You'd think if it were a common bug you'd see other users complaining about it (as this thread on droid forums is about 8 pages long at this point). Given that it's you, who wrote the tutorials for some of the early D2 stuff, I have no doubt you followed all the steps for installing the ROM. Did you happen to SBF and start stock before going to Fission? I wonder if it could have resulted from flashing over another ROM. Very strange issue though, when I get a good chance to roll my phone up to Fission 1.0 I'll see if I experience the same thing (Thursday is probably a good day to flash, too many phone calls I can't miss between then and now).

Before concluding the phone I would ask if it were happening before this rom. Have you tried any other usb mode to see if it recognizes it? I'm sure you have because you are darkonion...

How is it an issue? If your phone is on for 10 hours and you use cell for 1 hour of course it is going to eat the greatest percentage of battery use. The issue is the time is off now and then.

We tested this on IRC and it is working for everyone who tested.

if ud like a phone apk like this hit me up with a pm and ill send it to u

Does this ROM contain the ability to link contacts?
The reason I ask is because there are a few facebook contacts of mine that do not list their numbers on their profile but I have their numbers in my phone book. And when I installed Fission RC1, Facebook will list them as a contact but will not show them with the profile and with phone numbers I have in my phone. I recall being able to have that ability to link contacts in the stock D2 rom. Is this feature part of the Blur crap?
It really wouldn't even be an issue if the Facebook contacts were not read-only. I'd just add the numbers to their contact information on the phone then... But I can't. Go Facebook.

Go to the contact u want. Hit menu>edit then hit menu>join then u can pick the facebook contact u want to link it to

LiquidSense 2.1
Note
This is the ODEX'd version. If you're looking for the themable Deodex version, check here
THE TITLE HAS ONLY BEEN CHANGED TO CLARIFY THIS IS STILL ANDROID 2.1. The download version is still the same as before. I felt this would make more sense.
Battery Mod Is Here!
mozman has verified that the Super Circle Battery Mod with % does indeed work. I have run the mod through the same optimization scripts that I put the entire ROM through, so you can be sure you are getting a pure optimized ROM that will run as fast as possible. Download link for this optional mod is at the bottom of this post.

Well, for those of you who know me, I've decided to finally give Android ROM building a shot. It's a learning process, but I'm picking up on it pretty quickly, and I must say it's a ton of fun so far . I owe my inspiration to the likes of theimpaler747. ASimmons, zenulator, and of course, NFinitefx45. These guys all work hard to bring you great stuff, without their advice, I'd be nothing.
I need beta testers! I've been using this ROM for some time now but I need YOU to tell me if there's anything wrong with it . Please go easy on me, I'm still learning the ropes of this stuff. Any and all feedback is appreciated! If any of you veteran ROM devs come across this, feel free to drop me some advice
Who is this ROM for?
This is for a pretty broad range of people; those who are interested in stock Sense minus the bloat. I've removed a fair amount of bloat, including all the Sprint apps and a few HTC apps/Widgets that I feel are of little value. The ROM is also fully png-optimized, as well as zipaligned. That, paired with the fact it's an ODEXed ROM (might add deodex in the future) as well as Zen's AnyKernel, makes for a quite zippy ROM that only gets faster as you use it.
What is this ROM's base?
This ROM is based off of Nfinitefx45's fantastic rooted .7 ODEX release (link). While we're on that topic, I'd like to say that all the credit for rooting/getting the base of this ROM out the door is ENTIRELY credited to Nfinite. I take no credit for the rooting process, the addition of busybox, the addition of A2SD, and anything that you see in his .7 thread. Nfinite is a genius, and he has inspired me to create this offshoot of his ROM.
So what do I gain by trying this?
Simply put? Speeeed. Lots of it. Check out the tech specs for the full skinny on why.

Addons
I suggest you use Android Commander to push these back in.
Removed System APKs - This contains all the removed Widgets and APKs from System/App. This does not include GMaps/QuickOffice. To use, unzip it, delete what what you don't want, and either adb push it into system/app or use Android Commander to do so. NOTE: If you're looking specifically for Sprint VVM, it's the apk called "sprint_core.apk". It's the only APK that isn't obviously named, sorry about that!
Removed Data APKs - This currently includes Google Maps and Quickoffice. Both of these can be DLed from the market, and it's probably easier to do it that way, not to mention the ones on the market will always be up to date. However, if you'd prefer to save a bit of time, they are here for you. They do not need to be pushed, simply drop em on your SD card, and enable Unknown Sources temporarily and install using a file manager. HINT: If you don't want to grab a file manager or want to save some time, just copy the download URL, paste it in an email message to yourself, and open it from your phone. The phone's browser will handle the downloading of the APK, and you can just tap the apk from the list of downloads to initiate the install .
Removed Ringtones - These are all the ringtones that were removed. The reason they are not in the ROM is because they are better off on your SD card, freeing up a whole 2 MB on your system memory. What I suggest you do (to avoid having to adb push all of these) is to simply make a folder on your SD card with the following path :media\audio\ringtones\ . Put all the ringtones in there, and that way, no matter what ROM you use in the future, you'll always have the ringtones in there . If you'd prefer not to do this, you can adb push or use Android Commander to push them to system\media\audio\ringtones\. NOTE: Your your android.phone process might FC if you have no ringtones present. Either create the path above on your SD card and put something on it, or push the ringtones. A minor service release might have me putting a very tiny "Silent" ringtone in the folder to prevent any FCs from happening. Again, if you store ringtones on your SD card, this won't affect you at all.

Liquid's Tips!
~ On first startup, sign into your Google account but don't do Facebook sync. Wait till you boot into the ROM, and connect to a wifi hotspot (if you have one). Once the sync icon goes away, and your google account has finished syncing, then get started with Facebook sync. Remember, Facebook sync, at least for the Contacts syncing, happens in tiers. It'll do, for instance, A-E first, wait a bit, and then it will do F-P, etc etc. Have some patience .
~ Battery! As much as always on sync is useful, there are a couple things you can do to lengthen your battery life. For instance, for Google, I always leave Gmail sync on. But ask yourself, how often are you adding/removing Contacts from your Google account? I don't do that too often, so uncheck contacts. Also, unless I have major changes to be made to my Google Calender, I also leave GCal syncing off as well. Once it finishes its first-time sync, all your events are there anyway. Next up, Facebook! The big deal for me for Facebook is that I run it once and my Contact images sync together. I'm not a big user of the Live feed. So for me, once my contacts' images finish syncing, I leave both unchecked. These two tweaks will save you some juice, because it'll drop the number of things/times your phone checks for at the specified interval.
~ GPS! I've found that using the same fix for faulty GPS locks in CM6 in this ROM actually improves the GPS lock time like mad. Grab "GPS Status" from the Marketplace and reset/redownload the A-GPS cache. After I did this, I had a super accurate lock in under 4 seconds using Google Maps
~ Task Killers! In my experience, I've found that task killers tend to do more harm than good. My suggestion is to simply place a shortcut to "Running Services" on your homescreen, and check it periodically. For instance, GTalk Service likes to come up every so often, and when it does, I just end it. For the most part, I've done well without a task killer. Android was designed to manage its memory pretty well! Again, I know this is a debated idea, so take with a grain of salt NOTE: Do not end GTalkService while using the Market. GTalkService is also the service that pushes your Google Account credentials to apps that require it, your Market being one of them.
~ Random bits:
I've found that pressing Menu while in the Sense App Drawer and switching to List View makes the scrolling a bit faster and smoother
Not using all 7 homescreens? Make sure there's no widgets on the ones you're not using. I've found marginally better performance and battery life from doing so.

Great. Be sure to tell if it flashed properly with no errors (shoudln't be any) and if you run into any FCs. Also let me know if you notice a bit better performance

I will download it and report back with this rom

Can you provide a zip file of the removed apks? That would be great in case people want to reinstall anything.

No problems here. WiFi works, Bluetooth works and keyboard functions fine.

Using ClockworkMod recovery.
So far, so good. Did a nandroid, wiped, flashed, and it booted right up. No problems.
Edit: Noticing the speed. So far very fast and snappy.
GPS works great. Just a few seconds to find my position in my house near a window.

I've been using AOSPmod for a few weeks now, but I'll try this. Might go back to sense. Will report back with results
EDIT: uhh... Having a really weird problem. the keyboard is pressing Q no matter what button I push

I might even try this one, though I'd prefer deodex.

@OP: Been looking for something like this. A lean, mean rom.
Someone else already suggested a zip with the apks that were removed incase people want to add one or two back. Personally I like SprintVVM on stock roms, for example.
Next, have you seen this slightly dated thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581976 it talks about what people have found to be safe to remove from the stock HTC rom. It's a bit dated, but most of what is written still works. Something to toy with.
Of course we could just take your rom and delete the extras ourselves -- the beauty of the game

Not bad so far. Will run awhile and see if gets laggy after awhile like all sense roms seem to do.

Good job...ROM I've been looking for as an alternative to CM6.

Since this is based on nfinites .7 stock will the kernels he posted work with this? Not a big fan of SetCPU or OC Widget and my phone is happy at 710. Actually it's happiest at 729 but I don't know how to modify the kernel to default to that

Installed and running smooth so far
Running smooth so far. Going to run it for a couple of days to see how it is on battery. I think this is the perfect ROM for me. I do not use any of the stuff you took out.

Porting Information and Credits
There has been an enormous amount of interest surrounding utilizing components or modifications from our ROMs. To this point, our policy was that any such work needed to explicitly be approved by the team. The fact of the matter is that the policy is simply not enforceable and any time consumed working to enforce it detracts from the time we have to work on Android (which is what we really enjoy). As such, we’ve decided to go in a different direction.
Going forward, ROM developers are welcome to utilize any portions of our ROM which are of interest.
Our only requirement is that you let us know about what you’re doing by sending an email to (devteam|at|virtuousrom.com), credit the Virtuous Team in your thread(s) and provide a link to our website. No response on our part is required whatsoever, we’re just interested to hear about how our work is helping you.
Our plan is to continue to innovate and push the envelop of ROM development; with the goal of staying enough ahead of the curve to merit a desire to clone our work.

Important Notes
If you are experiencing random freezes and/or reboots, this is likely due to your device being incapable of handling our overclocking defaults. Download and apply this flashable patch, which will reduce the maximum CPU frequency to 1Ghz and likely eliminate this issue.
You must complete a full wipe prior to installing this ROM the first time. We also recommend wiping between upgrades, but you are welcome to try upgrading without a wipe. However, no support will be provided if you file a bug without having wiped prior to submission.
Bugs and Errors
To ease the process of reporting bugs to the team, we made a public bugtracker where you can report the bugs you found. Please make sure you read all the existing entries there to avoid doubling the errors.
The bugtracker is located here.
Device specific information

Install instructions (thanks to lollylost100):
1. Make a full wipe (please don't use Full Wipe 1.5 (EXT4) or such tools)
2. Flash ROM
3. Reboot
Please keep in mind:
You can always try to do a non wipe install, but we can't provide you support in this case.
If you find any errors in the ROM and you have NOT wiped before, please wipe and see if the errors persists.
Special features
This ROM has some unique or not widely known features which I want to explain here.
Screenshot
This ROM (in fact most Sense 3 ROMs) has the unique feature to make screenshots without any additional app.
Just Hold the "Power"-Button and then press "Home" at the same time and the phone will save your screenshot in the Images folder on you SD-Card.
OC Daemon
This ROM deals with overclocking a little bit different than other ROMs. To get further information read this post.
Fancy input animations
Unfortunately HTC removed from all their Sense ROMs the "open" and "close" animations for the keyboard.
Thanks to seo we were able to get them back
There are two different animation versions. The normal one is always activated and there is also no way to deactivate it.
The second "fancy" version can be enabled via the app "Spare Parts" which is in the Android Market.
Custom user app install during first boot
The ROM has the ability to automatically install custom user apps during the first boot (after a wipe)
All you need to do is the following:
Create an folder on your SD card and name it virtuous_unity
Create another folder inside virtuous_unity folder and name it 'app.user'
Copy all the desired apps in this directory in there paketname form, for example: 'com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity.apk'
Now flash the ROM via your recovery
During the first boot the apps get installed from your SD card, as this will take a while, don't get impatient
Release strategy
We are planing to release our ROM in the future every week on the same day and around the same time.
This point in time will be every Monday night (GMT). Which is ca. 24h from NOW.
If there are no MAJOR bugs we will release what ever we have done at this time.
Saturday night (GMT) is the so called feature freeze, then the ROM will enter the testing phase. It gets tested until monday and then the team will talk about the results.
Once everything is approved we'll release the next version.
As you should know now when the next version arrives I won't answer ANY questions concerning ETAs.

Introduction to the new Overclocking Daemon
This ROM features a completely new way of Overclocking and managing screen states.
The History
But before explaining it further, let's talk about previous solutions.
There are several different approaches to archieve "screen-state-scaling".
That means basically that the govenor changes if you turn the screen off and changes back to normal when turning the screen on.
This is mainly used to restrict the amount of CPU usage (the frequency in fact) during screen off. This can lead to a major battery life increase.
The solutions so far were:
App like SetCPU, which change automatically the govenor based on profiles
integrated solutions in the govenor itself
Both these solutions have major problems.
The one with a tuner app is always a little laggy right after turning on the screen because SetCPU (or any other CPU tuner) needs some time to change the govenors (up to 7 seconds). This leads mostly to major lag in the lockscreen.
The second solution is the smartass govenor. It has already a screen-state-scaling included, so it reduces the frequency when the screen turn off.
This could be a really nice solution but it has some problems too.
Smartass most of the time is not really stable and has problems with its frequency scaling.
State-of-the-art-solution
So we (more precisely rmk40) thought of a better solution.
He wrote a native C Daemon which changes the govenors instantly without any lag.
This leads to major performance improvements right after turning on the screen and in the lockscreen.
But at the moment this solution is a little bit harder to configure. We are plaing to make a GUI for this, so you get the same comfort as using SetCPU.
Nevertheless you can even now adjust the daemon to your needs.
Be aware that the daemon only works if all CPU tuner apps are deinstalled. Otherwise it deactivates itself.
How to adjust the daemon
The daemon is configured with 6 files in the folder /system/etc/virtuous_oc/.
There are 3 files for the wake state and 3 for the sleep state. For each state one file for the govenor, one for the minimal frequency and one for the maximal frequency.
You can easily edit these files eg. with RootExplorer or any other app which can edit system files. So you can adjust the frequencies and the govenor for each state just like with SetCPU.
In order to get the available frequencies for the current kernel, just open your favorite terminal app and type
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
You could also use adb shell to show the frequencies on your computer.
To get the available govenors use a similar approach:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
Please make sure, you are entering the right values in the daemon's config files.

reserved for future use4

At the risk of sounding like a complete ass, if we are already running VU 1.0, do we still need to wipe data, or can we leave that partition be? I'm asking because the previous thread for 1.0 indicated that future releases would not require a full wipe, so the instructions above are not entirely clear for those of us who are already on board.
Thanks for keeping up the great work!!!!!

Ok, I had trouble flashing. Individually wiped each partition (data/cache/system/dalvik), then also wiped via 'factory reset' for extra measure. Then mounted /system and /data, chose .zip file and get the error: "Error in /sdcard/virtuous_unity....zip (Status 1). Installation aborted.
When I **UNmounted** /data and /system, then flashed, it worked.

What more can one ask?

ROM is excellent... tried it out yesterday. RMK was able to fix the issues I encounted when I first got this ROM.
Only issues, which I hope will be fixed/resolved ..
- The hanging of buttons from the widgets below dialer/phone button.
- Like RCMixKingdom, video playback in portrait mode is distorted.
Most of the widgets I use are affected by the low buttons, so until these are fixed .. I'm gonna stick with RCMix Kingdom.
Don't get me wrong here, ROM is excellent. Like the fact that the OC is built in without having to use an app to control .. fast, smooth etc etc .. definately a ROM I will keep my eye on, very promising
Be interesting to see if someone can port this into 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.3 .. LOL
*** EXCELLENT WORK PEOPLE ***

Hi man, this rom looks great, tell me what its the diference between this rom and rcmix3d?

What's the difference in this and rcmix? Reason I ask is i want sense 3.0,but with rcmix its sluggish for even oc'd to 1.5.
Edit: jamm13 must have posted his question as I was typing mine lol. Just didn't want it to seem like I didn't read the thread

FROYO ROM
2.2.1 EC05 "Phoenix" II [Journaled]
From the ashes of RandomROM Plus, Phoenix rises.
EC05 AIO Volume/Hotspot/Lockscreen
The first rom to combine ALL of these great mods!
Updated 11/29/2011
Updates, Important Notices, and General Information Posted Here!
I'd like to extend a special thank you to anyone who has donated!​
I maintain RandomROM as a distribution across multiple forums. As such, the bulk of the information, details, etc. is maintained on my site. Rest assured, the links below will take you to aforementioned site where you will find all of the information you require regularly updated on how to use this rom. No subscription required. Always free (donations appreciated, never required). All of my roms, mods, themes, guides, etc. can be found on this easy to navigate site as well as my blog for upcoming updates. As always, I will still answer questions here.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, divorce, bankruptcy, acne, etc. Please do some research if you are a first time flasher BEFORE flashing this rom. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me if something goes wrong with your device, I will laugh. By downloading, you agree to have read all pertinent information provided and to accept any and all responsibility subsequently.
Home Of The AIO Mod For EC05.​I have updated and merged necrosan's wifi tether mod and mkasick's volume rocker mod together, as they change the same framework.jar. This means that Sprint Hotspot will work freely without an additional Wifi Tether app, and that your volume rocker can now seamlessly transition from silent, to vibrate, to loud. Included in this conglomeration are also maddoggin's lockscreen mod. This will currently remain known as the AIO mod, and version 1 is the latest. It is included in the Phoenix Blue EC05 theme.
To any rom/theme developers: Feel free to utilize this mod but be sure to reference myself and all aforementioned developers involved. It took a lot of time and effort to make these great features play nicely and it's important to keep the original creators in the loop.
Why Should You Use RandomROM?​
Alternate names considered: BatteryROM, BurningROM​This rom is a personal hobby of mine to maintain the greatest battery life that I can. I've scoured the forums searching for the newest and greatest tweaks, mods, etc. to include, and then carefully tested them all for battery performance. I've also made additional changes and additions all my own. As such, this rom has compiled the excellent work of many great developers into my own ideas and configurations. Contained within are many useful apps pre-installed as well as an effort to replicate my exact setup which has yielded me 1-2% battery loss per hour maximum when idle!
All included apps have been RandomKing-Approved to conform with the best battery usage. I'm always on the lookout for more tweaks, possible thematic changes, etc., however this version is the last major revision last based on EC05. There should be no issues, but should I happen to find one, I may simply release a patch or quietly switch out the upload version.
Many of you have complained that others achieve much better battery life. The goal of RandomRom is to provide MY setup that's provided me with great battery life. Further details possibly important details will be made available in post 2. Any other information can be found on my site along side the download links.

GPS tends to work pretty well for me. However, as a note on most roms I've tried, it usually works better after a reboot. At it's best, it locks on in seconds, at it's worst, up to a minute generally.

Looks good random appreciate the hard work.. seems like our hobbies are pretty aligned haha. My hobby is battery life
So this looks to be based on srf 1.2? Is that correct?
As a srf user what are the main differences? I see it uses geno and journaling is enabled, any other big changes?

It was originally based on my love for SFR 1.1. From there I set about incorporating in everything I could find or think of from no2chems bionic mod to theimpaler's speed demon keyboard tweak, to the tw date fix. Then I went back and rebuilt the rom to clean things up a bit. I've baked in my shortcut terminal commands to freeze drm, sns, and updates in order to preserve more battery(couldn't make them autorun). Patched together my own version of a theme, made some other rewrites, switched out some apps, aimed towards more black pixel usage and transparent apps(thanks impaler!). Re-downgraded the bionic update from 1.1 to 1.0 to solve issues people were having with wifi connections, added back in media uploading, etc. etc. It's gone through various revisions as I continue to use it myself, throw out certain parts, change others, find new mods that can help preserve yet more battery, etc. Baked in journaling, but also included a non-journaled version. Also, journal on/off cwm flash-ables will be copied to your sd card, should you change your mind later, along with the cwm 3.1.0.1 update. Tried to keep it as functional and slick as ever. And included Rodderick's Genocide 1.0 as that's still my favorite kernel .
I did make it a point to re-use the same data backup code employed by SFR, as I like to switch back and forth between roms. I, myself, am a connoisseur of roms and a flash-aholic. That said, I haven't tried sfr 1.2 personally, so I can't say how this compares.

Thanks for the ROM update. Any plans on Gingerbread ROM?

This 2.2 version is final. I know, silly idea since I just brought it to an xda thread and only a few people followed me here through all revisions and a few more at androidcentral...
But yes, my new hobby is Gingerbread.

My buddy flashed his Epic to this and wiped everything multiple times but it won't leave airplane mode. Thoughts?

Why include ATK? Why not recommend it to people?
Most don't need a task killer and such task killers can hurt more than help... from my experience anyways..
On other note, This looks very well thought out and I will def give it a try!

Did he come from a fresh install? You may need to reflash the modem through ODIN.

Try reflashing your modem through odin.
I've encountered this on a number of different roms, including syndicate frozen.
(currently downloading randomrom hehe)
EDIT: oops. jkrough beat me to it.

Task killers are effective if certain system processes are NOT closed, ie things that will interrupt your service and shouldnt be closed, and if auto-kill is not enabled. I have pre-configured it for both of these concepts. It will only close what can safely be closed, when you tell it to.
Of course, you can just ignore/uninstall it too.
But remember, NEVER USE AUTOKILL.
One more thing... open ATK. Take a look at what it's ready to kill. Kill everything(including ATK itself). Wait 1-2 minutes. Open ATK again, and notice if anything that you just killed is open again. These are un-kill-able, and you're wasting battery trying, so simply add them to the ignore list. Best way to optimize a task killer. You also may want to set it to ignore your music, etc.

No sir. I like 1.0 a lot. But feel free to flash 1.1 over this rom if you'd prefer. It works just fine.

Looks very promising. I am going to give this a shot. Downloading now

oZoP Development Projects are on the way!!!
ONE ZIP ONE PLACE​
System Transition Animations mod
By flashing this zip you will be given a bunch of choices for different system animation style for screen/window transitions, keyboard/toast views and many others. You will get an additional option to tweak a little for unique styles!!
So I give you this, UNIVERSAL for MOST devices Aroma installer to give users the option for different choices!
This zip will work for MOST device running ANY Rom with ANY version Android 5.0+!
How to use the ozop-restore.zip to revert/recovery quickly without the need to restore or reinstall the whole Rom:
And just to be safe, I have included in my scripts and files a method that will create a flashable restore zip of your files before the mods does its thing!
The restore zip will be inside the new "ozop" folder that has been created and the zip is named "ozop-restore.zip"
If something doesn't play nice, just flash the zip and you'll be back to the way it was before you flashed the mod
NOTE: the script will delete any existing restore zips EVERY TIME you flash a new option, meaning that if you flash the mod again, your original system files will be replace with the file you flash previously!
If you want to have a permanent back up of the original file, you will need to rename the zip inside the ozop folder to whatever, just can't have the same name or it gets replaces everything you flash the mod
BUG REPORT:
Code:
MIUI choice causing boot issues for some users (works fine for me), so be prepared to you the restore.zip if needed. Will look into a fix for future releases
Report bug properly to get my support
Of course there are many way to properly report bugs and ALL of these ways have one thing in common, THEY ALL REQUIRE VERY DETAILED NOTES of the issue!
I'm moy goimg to go deep into how detailed you could get because lets face it, most people that report improperly are the ones who don't read and probably are going to read this! HaHaHa...
To get support from me I only ask for some simple things
1. What device, and rom you are running
2. What is the issue (no boot, fc everywhere, fc only certain app etc...)
3. Which option did you select
4. Did you get the install log
5. Did you use the restore.zip option to get back running
6. Do other choices share the same effect
That looks like a lot, but it really is the minimum amout of info need to troubleshoot!
Provide me that and I'll do my best to fix things and make this fun for everyone.
If you post things like
"Doesn't work", "bootloop" or anyone other similar post that have no value and help development is no way, actually these kinds of post only put development behind amd slow progress die the fact that anyone who cam help has to waste their time reading it!
If these kind of post ever come up, its best to ignore the lazy person and not clog the thread with flaming replies as that too slows development!
Anyway, I don't expect there to be many if any bugs! Been tested by myself and confirmed with users of this device!
Now grab the download and enjoy!

Actually I do have a few things in the works, but my main efforts are being directed towards my initial release of my LG rom.
Once that's out of the way, you'll see some more stuff from me over here!
Anything in particular you are looking for?
I do nee to break away from my Rom stuff from time to time for a break and am always open to suggestions.
Thabks for your interest.
Have a good one bro!

yeah and I can confirm I had the same issues :/

Tried on my Exynos Galaxy S8 stock rooted. Constant FC of several apps, including settings. Recovery zip does not fix it, neither does factory reset. Have to reflash and reroot. OP should update post.

It's good to provide video of these effects Thx for your work.

I met constant FC in several apps as well. Recovery zip doesn't help.
Hope OP can provide some solutions, thanks.

Look guys, I am all about development progress and supporting my work to help everyone have a good experience and enjoyable time using my stuff.
But I am not about doing things blind or fixing things that I can not troublehoot via a log or ability to recreate myself!
Check the OP for my instructions to get my support for issue#
just today in a different thread (right here in the S8 community), a Mod had to step in and give you a reminder of what XDA is about and what kind of posts are useful for development!
Do any of you see ANY helpful or useful info that I can use from your posts to help fix or even begin to look at fixing anything?
NO! Why don't you try reading and following instructions before leaving worthless posts in the future!
If you want support, give me something I can work with!
This mod os posted in several communities for different devices, including the S8+, has nearly 3,000 downloads and with the exception of a few post about issues, that are know and documented in the OP, the mod works fine and people are very happy with their results!
If the people here are all running the same variant and device, that could be helpful. I wouldn't know because mot one of you post any details!
If the version of recovery is the same and causing issues, that would ne helpful! But i wouldn't know because I have NO details about Rom, device, model number, option selected from Aroma, other possible conflicting mods etc...,
Normally I don't even reply to posts about issue that don't have details for me to work with, but this thread is out of control and I need to set it straight for possible new users that are being scared away by the worthless posts here!
This mod works fine (with the exception of the MIUI option)
The mod only makes changes to 1 single file of which a backup is made of your current working one and placed in a folder on your phones storage for later use if you do run into problems! It only keeps 1 backup, which will be overridden everytime you make a change. If the system in working prior to making a change, then the restore zip will work perfectly to bring you back. If you have issues and decide to select another option without restoring your backup, then you will not be able to recover using the restore zip!
If that last part doesn't make sense to you, then I can not help you and you should maybe reconsider making any changes to your phones system! I fear that is you continue to do so it is only a matter of time until you do permanent damage to you device!
I would like to ensure there are ZERO issue for anyone and the help from you is essential to achieve this!
I do plan to continue this project with and to expand the options to include new backup/restore option, build your own animation with individual options with various choices for fine tuning and of course the quickpick one click options gor full system animations!
Here is a more complete, but very short preview of the animations.

Are you high?
Go back and read the date and I made my inial comment. Go head I wait. Just in case ill use big words:
NEWS FLASH
THE OP WAS NOT WRITTEN LIKE IT IS NOW WHEN I POSTED
NO details or pics or anything but a bare boans thing actually more like simple Craigslist ad. The specific phones were not listed, and j remember a "you should be able to figure this out and it should work everywhre" vibe.
You did not make the op an actual useful read till much later
SECOND OF ALL
As if one wasn't enough!
I ASKED YOU IF YOU SUPPORTED SNAPDEAGON WITH SYSTEM ROOT. NO ANSWER
So now at this point I've a brand new system root,. Dev asleep at the wheel of his own. Post, and absolutely no guidance on whether I'm going to get chewed out for using it.
Guess WHAT?! I STILL WANTED TO USE IT, BUT DIDNT WORK.
I tried like 29 times if I remember right,no I don't remember what happened except it crashloop systemui. So I said to myself "oh well, it was worth a shot, if he asks because later for help with an s8 port maybe I could help."
So WITHOUT COMPLAINT, I went to home, and moved on IN Life. Didn't sit by the phone, but I was curious I admit
It was not for M O N T H S later thst I get a flippant "well did It?". OH SO YOU CARE NOW! Well it is a lite late for that to get actionable feedback from my last attempt.
SO TO SUMMARIZE
I adk If it works on
You ignore
Get abyaZy
Ask again Seven flippant non answers
Ignore
Try myself to do something,
Crashes, fcs, you name it it happens.
STILL NO WORD FRKM DEVS
Reinstall os
To be clear. I SAID NOT ONE WORD about the project, the fact that it did or did r work, I recommend it none nor streered jrbo Mee a
-- MONTHS LATER
Get asked about my experience, give honest report. Best I can remember since it was so long ago
GET *****ED OUT BY DEV WHO APPARENTLY PAY ATTENTIO. TO HIS OWN TINYTHREAD.
All you had to do was one iota of actual critical thinking, and you could have avoided all the foot-n-mouth-prickish bull****. Hell you could have just ASKED ME and maybe I would have reinstsalled it and tested again. Now that SamFail is out the door I I deal with a lot of repeat questions and "it don't wornk help" statements that can be frustrating, but you won't be seeing me treat users this way, much less than the ones who ACTUALLY DID THE RIGHT THIG

Wow!! really like this, and want to say thnx!! 2700 downloads, and only 10 thanks...

works perfect and as described on my s8. didn't try the miui option though. great job, thanks.
