This is the official froyo rom released by HTC on 1/8/2010. I have removed some apps which I never use, see the changes. And it is rooted of course

- Removed stocks
- Removed teeter
- Removed flickr
- Removed footprints
- Removed car panel
- Removed quickoffice
- Removed voice search
Download
You will also need the latest radio update which you can download here.
Restoring apps
Here is a little guide to restore apps which I removed:
1. Download "RemovedApps.rar", I attached it.
1. Find the .apk and .odex file of the app and extract them from the rar.
2. Download this ROM and open it with WinRAR, go to /system/app and add the .apk and .odex files you just extracted. Close WinRAR and it should be fine.
Removing other apps
If you want to remove other apps yourself you can also just open the ROM with WinRAR and go to /system/app and delete the .apk and .odex file.

Thanks for the effort!
Downloading.

Looks nice..
Could you drop a guide to remove more apps like Gmail and all the other google appz and still have Sense.

Well this is interesting, gonna try this one

Just be careful, removing specific apps will break things, yes. However I don't know all of the apps that do. I'm sorry

Well, under the language & keyboard settings I can select Dutch, English, French and German. Maybe there are more, I don't know.

German is all i need. Thank you very much.

You must use ClockwordMod recovery, or any other custom recovery with verification disabled.

If you want to unroot and install a rom that will bring up the ota update as normal do this
Download this rom:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Brav...984_signed.zip
change the name to PB99IMG and put it on your gold card, boot into recovery and select fastboot, it will install the generic 1.21 rom, then when you check for updates the froyo update will be there, btw doing this wipes everything on your phone. Worked for me although I didn't install the froyo update as I am scared of the bootloader.

Hello
Same problem with HtcFootprints
Thanks for your help, i let find how to use ClockwordMod recovery
Regards!

Hello again
I copy all missed app to to .zip
But give a new error
wrong digest
META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
Verification failed
Thanks

Installed works perfectly, only had to restore voicesearch.apk and his odex file, but atm i don't know what to do, this is just a /system dump and the rom doesn't restore the backup of my phone from the sdcard... i lost all sms, configs, etc.

Dont work ,error say
Main Version is older
Update fail!
why do scare about bootloader of froyo update??bricks the desire??nobody try it (same situation like us?)
Thanks
Nicolas

htc keyboard

Im going crazy here!! I installed cm6 extender, but it doesn't install. I drop the apk in system/apps/ and rebooot....nada. I even went as far as too drop the libt9 in lib and nothing.
Does aaaaaanybody have a flashable zip for it? Setup in sig

Anybody?
I remember in darchdroid on here there was a way to change how many apps you saw on homelongpress or whatever. Is there a way to do that? I thought darchdeoid was based off of cyanogine.
I have the HTC_ime.apk but it says installl unsucessful. What do I do?

Do this:

Make sure you pick the Froyo version. After you download it, unzip the file to get the apk. Then use Astro to install the apk. Before you can install it, it might make you uninstall your current one, which is easy, it gives you the option to uninstall when you open the apk.

That was amazing. made a custom one right from my phone, happily typing this to you on it now. thankyou so much.
i have another questoon, i hope you dont mind.
in darchdroid on the hero, there was a setting to show more than 6 recent apps on longhomepress. do you know how i could obtain that?

[NEW GAPPS.ZIP & APK] New Android Market [2.2.6] for G1(Android 2.1&2.2)[16/12/2010]

[NEW GAPPS.ZIP & APK] New Android Market [2.2.6] for G1(Android 2.1&2.2)[16/12/2010]
EDIT: I've put the new gapps.zip to update all ur gapps . This has to work : ) Just flash this from the recovery . It'll overwrite your old gapps , giving you the latest of all the basic gapps (incl.the new Market )
You can then go to the new market and install the updated Gmail,Voice Search,Google Search,Maps,Youtube app etc.
New Android Market (version 2.2.6) features include:
1.Refund window changing to 15 minutes
2.New carousel with featured apps on main page
3.Widgets and Live Wallpapers categories added
4.Related content added to app page
5.Single page app viewing, all info in one place
6.Max size for apk files increased from 25 MB to 50 MB
Also the Downloads now get paused instead of getting cancelled if there is a network/data interruption
I am not making a flashable update since it might clash with the original Vending.apk . So here are the steps to remove the old market and install the new one.
1) Use adb to remove and install the new market.
a) adb remount
b)Backup your current Market by
adb pull /system/app/Vending.apk Vending.apk
c) adb shell rm /system/app/Vending.apk
Rename the apk you downloaded (MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE RIGHT APK FOR ECLAIRS OR FROYO) to Market.apk and put the apk in the Android SDK/tools folder then
adb push Market.apk /system/app
OR
Simply use your favourite Root File Manager (Root Explorer ,SU explorer , Android Commander etc.) and go to /system/app and delete Vending.apk .
Then put the New Market apk in /system/app
Restart your phone and you're good to go

I have SparksMOD . It should work on all CM 6.1 (Android 2.2.1) and all Froyo ROMS.
Make sure you restart your phone and follow my instructions carefully.
Also try running fix permissions from recovery incase it doesnt help.

You cannot replace or manage Android phone system files through normal File managers like Astro,Linda etc.
Best way I recommend is to Use Android Commander and follow the steps for installing without adb commands.

i installed thru recovery and works great

on my G1 with 6.1 2708 is great. install via adb
why I do not see the category widgets and live wallpaper?

Hey..
Pity, it doesn't work for me.
I did it with the Root Explorer. Installation suceeded but i get a "force close" error message, when i try to select a program from the list or to go to "my downloads".
Changing back to the old one without problems.

I used the qr code/barcode scanner in the following link and followed the on-screen instructions. Took it a few minutes but it worked and I have no errors.
Tmobile G1
EZterry 14mb radio/spl
Mytouch3g OTA 2.2.1 updated
Here is the link with the QR code, just use your favorite QR scanner and then open via url or open in browser. It should then start a download, after its done just follow the on screen directions to install (it back-up's the installed markets user data then deletes it and installs the new market. http : // androidspin . com / 2010 / 12 / 11 / new-android-market-update-unofficially-available-for-download/

Hello HellRazorGod. I have a G1. And I just got it rooted with Cyanogen 2.2 Froyo ROM. But then as you know, cyanogenMod doesn't come with google apps anymore. And then so I tried your android market maybe it will work. And before I downloaded yours, I found many market apk files from other source. But then it still wound't work. But when I tried yours. Still didn't work. I tried AndroidCommander. Adb and still with the same results. I open it, and it is just all white, and after about 5 seconds go back to desktop screen. I tried every possible way. And tried all your steps. Even with the AndroidCommander. Can you help me out? I have a Android 2.2 Froyo Cyanogen 6.1.0 DS ROM. Would really appreciate it.

fart23 did you download the gapps .zip file and then flash it after you flashed your rom. if not then you need to go check out cyanogens wiki how to root/install cyanogen rom.

[Q] Can't Install Themed APK

I have a stock Sensation, temp-rooted, and have a couple of themed apps I like (TweetDark, Transparent G+). Using root explorer, I navigate to downloads on my SD, select the APK and select install. It prompts that the app will replace an existing one, keeping user data (normal). It asks me to accept permissions (normal). It says installing (normal). Then is says Application Not Installed with a Done button (definitely not normal). I have third party apps allowed, and it let me install an APK that wasn't an overwrite, so why can't I install my themed APKs? Any suggestions/information would be most helpful.

you cant because the stock rom is .odex you need to de-odex the rom or apk for it to work or backup both the apk and .odex files to your sd now delete the .odex file install your apk and reboot

Thanks for your answer. I was afraid it would be something like that. The phone's a loaner as part of a T-Mobile feedback program so I don't want to muck with it to much.

[Q] Swype Beta Replacement

Has anyone found a way to keep the rom from overwriting the Lib.SwypeCore.so file upon reboot after installing the Swype Beta? I delete the old file from /system/lib and the apk from /system/app and then install the beta and it works fine until I reboot, then it replaces the old lib file over the new one and I get the old interface back. Anyone know if there is a backup of that file I can replace somewhere in the file system?

try uninstalling SWYPE and update SWYPE Installer to the latest version and re install SWYPE through SWYPE Installer...

You cant actually uninstall SWYPE, but I've temp rooted and deleted all the files from the system and then installed the SWYPE installer and the beta, it works up until I reboot then it goes back to using the version that came with the phone, 2.28 or something like that.
