Hi guys. I got my hands on some DI14 files from the Mesmerize and decided to cook up a ROM. This ROM is very lightweight (removed as much touchwiz stuff as I could), and is very similar the version I have released for the Fascinate.
[warning]THIS IS ONLY FOR THE USCC MESMERIZE!!! DON'T FLASH ON ANY OTHER PHONE!!! IF YOU DO, I WILL LAUGH AT YOU!!![/warning]
Features:
Latest versions of :
Google Maps
ADWLauncher
Google Voice
Google Street View
Superuser
YouTube
Aosp or additional apps:
DeskClock
FileManager
Gallery3D
Mms
Music Player
Other stuff:
bash / bmlunlock / busybox / nano / redbend_ua / strace binaries are included
fully functional terminfo for bash
lots of extra ringtones/sounds pulled from aosp
SGS boot and shutdown animations
LOTS of stuff removed, don't have a list, sorry.
Also included in the package is a custom kernel, which allows use of aosp style bootanimations (among other things) and has been optimized for speed and reliability. - kernel has been removed
Enjoy.

WARNING: I do not have a Mesmerize so I cannot test anything myself. This ROM has been tested by a few people, but, if you have issues try wiping data, otherwise, please let me know of any bugs. Thanks.
testing now...
Flashed this a few minutes ago. Seems much snappier than stock. JT, can't thank you enough. I'll report back after I've used it a bit.
~Sophos
about to test it thanks
seems to work well the lock screen seems quicker but im having some pauses when in some apps. was wondering the name of the twitter and facebook feed app that comes standard on mesmerize liked that app but found it was missing in this rom
8hrs and going well. Couldn't get custom boot animation or BLN to work with kernel update so I flashed back to the 1130 kernel. Once I finish the final touches on this boot animation I'll upload it.

They are missing because they are bloat. Hence the "Super" in Super Clean ROM. The less in it from the start, the cleaner the build. There can and will be variations to this ROM, I'm sure, now that JT has been kind enough to give us a starting point. The pauses you are experiencing, I believe, are writes. When a ROM is deodexed, the .odex files are placed back into the apk for various reasons, including themes, causing the system to have to have to perform a few extra writes to cache. This should speed up as you use your phone. As I said, I believe this is correct, but I'm still learning so this may not be exactly what is happening. In testing the previous builds, I noticed the same thing and that this went away with use.
The only thing that I see as an issue is BLN doesn't appear to work. Oh well. Maybe in a future build.
Any way to get the original messaging working i like the way it shows the messages and maybe your navigator from uscc.

All stock deodexed apk's located here http://ge.tt/3mWj9TK in a zip file. Files are not necessarily named the same in apk form as in the app drawer. Also, not all apk's are apps from the app drawer.
As usual, use at your own risk. Make a backup before you use.... yada yada yada.

Thanks... I'm looking through and I can't find two apps, not sure if they're there, or if they are, what the actual .apk names are... First is the stock Messaging app and the second is the My Navigator app. Not a huge fan of the messaging in this rom, if I can restore an apk to get back what it was like I'd be much happier.

Stock messaging app is mms.apk, but we are having a problem trying to get it back in the ROM. It seems to be the only one that doesn't want to go back in at this time, but it is being looked in to. My Navigator is USCC_Samsung_Galaxy_S-1059.apk I believe. I know it is one of the ones with USCC or uscellular in it.
i am 99.9% sure it wont
but does the wii mote work now? or is there any hope hat it will at some time
This is just a simple, basic rom, I've been using it a few days and a couple people have tried it. It uses a stock deodexed system with some of the sprint and samsung bloatware removed. I've added a few apps that I often use, and a couple I don't. This should work with both rfs and ext4 file systems, and uses the edify script so its flashable via cwm3.
I wont be adding any themes or anything fancy to this, its just a slightly modified stock system, but it runs pretty strong. So, don't expect super beautiful. The boot animation is just a basic flashing android logo, however you should be able to insert your own if you would like.
I personally don't use the ATK as the phone manages memory fine on its own, but for those who need it, or if you have pesky apps that need killed its there. Linpack is there if thats your thing.
As with anything regarding flashing custom anything, you assume the risk. Always keep a recent backup, and know that your warranty is void (If you didn't already know this, you should now)
I'll be adding and removing stuff as I see fit, and I work at my pace.
Things I've added
The recompiled libdvm, seems people are seeing benefit from it so I added it here.
Dameon's ext4/rfs kernel
The stock deodexed and zipaligned /system from ACS
Spare parts
Zeam Launcher
Gingerbread Keyboard (multi touch support)
Things I've removed
Most of the samsung/sprint bloatware
Touchwiz launcer. (Zeam and the Froyo launcher are both on the phone, if you don't like zeam its in /system/apps, remove it)
Stock Email.apk - Will be added in 106
Memo.apk
ThinkFree Office
Samsung's Keyboard
Swype
Boot animations
Boot animation sound
Change Log 106
added the stock email.apk back
changed my edify script to fix issues with cwm3
added the tutorial on first startup so google backup works if you use it - I know its a pain in the butt the first time around, but worth it.
I would like to personally thank Ften for letting me borrow some space on his website, there are space constraints, so I will only have the latest there, if you need a previous version pm me here, or at www.sdx-developers.com my screen name there is MeatCurtains.
Change Log 107
Minor changes
Removed some of the "useful" apps I added
Removed Facebook, Memo, and ThinkFree Office
Removed Swype and Samsung's keyboard
Added the Gingerbread keyboard
Boot animation sounds should also be removed
I was going to remove Launcher2 (Stock Froyo launcher)but left it just in case someone needs a backup launcher. Will be removed for sure on my next release for sure
Again, I didn't make any crazy changes, system is still fairly stock save for the DVM.
107 on will be available at the sdx-downloads link provided.

xjman - good luck with the ROM bro. Maybe you could call it Sausage or PorkerROM to be more PC. You could measure the releases in inches (e.g. 105.1")

The name is based off of my typical screen name of MeatCurtains. I've used the Meat[kernel, rom, mod, ect] naming for a while now. I just stuck with it.
The inches idea will be pondered
As you know, but for records, installed from 2.5.1.2 on Bonsai4all with ext4 without without wiping anything and got Gmail force closes. Wiped data/cache/dalvik and reflashed, no change. Finally, odined to stock dk28 and reflashed as rfs (too lazy to do ext4 conversion) and reflashed and no issues whatsoever. Great rom man!
This is JesterCorp... talked earlier on freenode, just an update.
flashed to dk28 with odin then updated to the latest cwm that isnt 3.0 and installed meatrom, seems to be working great. Not sure why things were weird the other route. Thanks for all the help

Thanks guys, ill take a look to find out what the issue was. I may add formatting to the /data partition so see if that fixes it

That's odd, I flashed over bonsai and had no issues at all (save for the gmail one which I believe was due to me forgetting to wipe data/cache/dalvik and thus no fault of yours). To add to my parenthetical statement, the fact that I had ONE force close after doing that is just a confirmation of how well built your rom is man. Great job, I love it. If I wasn't getting an Evo tomorrow I'd be running it and I'll be suggesting it to the guy I'm trading with lol
Anymore feedback? I need to know what is broken before I can fix it for the next release.
Also, I will probably be adding rom manager support for updating through clockworkmod
thanks for going out of your way to create this rom
The only real complaint i have is that for whatever reason i cant seem to get the call log to view by "all calls" instead i have to do all logs... which shows text messages in the call log. Maybe im just doing it wrong, but ive never had any other rom get stuck on all logs before.?? I really like it so far otherwise tho.
thanks!
Dave
Glad to see you over here Meat (followed your moment stuff when I was setting up my gf's moment)
and slight tangent from the OP, but everytime I see the rom version 105.1, I can't help but hear the station jingle from a local station in RDU. "105.1... G105" except "105.1 Meat 105" keeps creeping into my head.
Anyways... as you were, folks.
This rom does not flash thru cwm 3.0.5 I wiped data cach and dalvik 2 x and still end up on,the same rom previously installed quantum2.7 or bonsai 1.1.4 same result any suggestions

So I have been on DI18 for a week but now need flash again for a poker app I want to try so I am downing this now. I am interested in trying the dvm also. One question, you think about turning on the auto market update thing like when the phone is new? It makes it easier when it downloads all my paid apps for me, or maybe you know how I can turn that on myself? Is it in build.prop?
Glad to see some Meatware on the epic front
Hi!
I'm a developer over at the GSM Hero section. I recently got the camera working decently on our phones with ICS, you might wanna try it out, I can't see why it wouldn't work for you guys too.
Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?d0ccs22yr447fby
Just put it in /system/lib/hw. You'll also need the proprietary libs in /system/lib/.
Happy Hacking!
I'll test it out

Bumpity bump
i can confirm this works
i ported the eris ics 4.0.4 base that mongoosehelix has provided in their forums to my heroc, since the copy of ics i have for this device wouldnt work for some reason (kept fc'ing when trying camera). i had camera preview, not jerky at all. looked pretty good actually. just did as you said op and copied the file to the lib/hw folder and bam good to go. taking pictures was another story, a combo of touching the onscreen button and hitting the trackball finally yeilded a picture. cannot say anything for camcorder preview, did not try it.
thanks for making this for us, and hopefully we can get an ics 4.0.5 rom when its time
That's awesome!
I've updated this lib since my first post, I removed the support for barcode scanning since it was leaking a lot of memory. Here's the new version: http://www.mediafire.com/?fp7tryck4qsh1zu
Hello,
Please expand on what exactly is needed from the Eris rom when you reference "proprietary libs". I have built the Evervolv HeroC rom from code several times now and adding your file changes nothing for me? The current build version for our HeroC's is Evervolv-Ignis-2.2.0b1.
Cheers
i ended up using dsixda kitchen to port the eris ics 4.0.4 rom, and the only file i changed afterward is added op's file in lib/hw. it just worked after that.
im trying to figure out how to get this working on matt/jaybob's 4.0.3 rom, copying libs to it and while i cant get a preview yet, it doesnt force close right away. it will sit with a black screen until you press home or back. so thats a start.
i suspect it has something to do with the annoying red borders that show up whenever something visual happens, is there any way to fix that?
if i figure this stuff out then ill post my work, thanks op and thanks matt/jaybob for your work getting ics on our trusty old hero's
Weird that you can't get it working on jaybobs/matts build. You should only need the lib posted in the OP and these:
libcamera_client.so
libcameraservice.so
libcamera.so
liboemcamera.so
I downloaded your ROM to take a look and those were all there so that can't be the problem... What happens if you replace all those with ones from our GSM Hero build or the Eris build?
i made an update zip with those libs from the hero gsm 4.0.3 build, and no dice. also tried the eris build libs on our 4.0.3 and no dice. there is progress though, it used to just fc right away, but now it stays at a black screen and doesnt do anything until i press menu or back. ill keep trying to get something working
While you are at it, could you post that Eris port of ics? I would love a new ROM to try.
i do not wish to steal op's thunder in this thread, so i am opening a new thread in android development. im uploading to mediafire as i type this so check it out and get your hopes up for camera lol
i am proud to present my 6th rom port for the heroC.
changelog:
v1
- updated to reflect henry_01's 2.7.8 port
v1-1
- added quickpic (sorry about that guys, totally forgot it)
-lowmemorykiller tweaks are now in line with roms from jordfaz and 1ceb0x
-wallpapers and sounds are now added back in
-size of apks edited some to allow for the same sized rom as v1 but with all the sounds and images put back in
to start, im not gifted enough to know how to develop, im just a lowly borrower, so if i have nothing to borrow, i have nothing to offer
also i take no responsibility for your phone crashing and burning in an epic fashion, and/or if your cat jumps off your keyboard and makes your coffee spill on your lap, or war, or famine, or disease, or anything of the sort. try at your own risk, dont bother me if your phone blows up
dont give me any credit, give the following people mad props and donate to them if you wish to:
original rom link from wfs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735773
Henry_01 for his port (link above)
ajrty33 for porting the first MIUI ICS rom
erwinp for the youtube fix
stritfajt for getting the camera working
mongoosehelix and all the crew over at the eris forums for the base rom
1ceb0x and the crew over at the hero gsm forums for the init.rc tweaks and the minfree settings in kernel
dsixda and his kitchen
matt, dastin, jaybob and the heroc crew
zeppelinrox and his v6 supercharger script
im sure i forgot people, im sorry if i did and if i forgot you please yell at me and ill make sure to thank you
this is based off of 4.0.4, MIUI v4 for the Wildfire S
what works:
touchscreen
sdcard
radio (data and calls)
adb
camera preview and taking pics
bigger keyboard, more like gb
wifi
sound
buttons
audio
root
vibration
bluetooth
zeppelinrox's supercharger script (just to supercharge launcher)
video playing from sdcard (use quickpic and .3gp video format)
minfrees set in kernel at boot time
mms hopefully
usb mass storage
themes
youtube (non hd)
try messing with camera settings in camera app, i turned down the resolution from 5 mp to 2.5 and picture taking worked quicker and looked better in my opinion
works with problems:
long press home displays large previews, not sure why just yet
other stuff im sure
what i didnt test: (lol its your jobs to test it)
pretty much everything else
when you flash this, remember i did not sign it, so if your using clockworkmod recovery toggle signature verification
i recommend you go let this boot all the way, then reboot. then after that, go into settings-developer options, and click the tick box next to:
background process limit/ at most 4 processes
show all ANRs
and make sure animations are off
i turn off all vibration, except for notifications, that includes the keyboard as haptic feedback slows things down.
then use script manager to run zeppelinrox's v6 supercharger to bulletproof launcher
this is the gapps i use from eris: http://www.mediafire.com/?qbpc1zthauh4c1h
md5sum: 2b4d664eda701da65d2ea2c5c928267d
(this is the same gapps offered over at the eris forums, i just added geniewidget as i like my news and weather widget)
go into phone app, hit menu, then settings, and check your voicemail number, im on boost so mine is my phone number
this port will not:
most likely be a finished project
win a beauty contest
make your manhood bigger
if you see something wrong, please fix it or ask me to
and now for the link before i forget:
MIUI 4.0.4v1-1
http://www.mediafire.com/?hjvpm1t1w31bqgw
if you see problems or have suggestions, please let me know. i dont know much about MIUI, as i havnt used it much since ajrty33 ported it for heroc (gb and original ics roms.) so if you see something that needs changed to better fit the mold of a good MIUI rom, please do let me know.
happy flashing!
Nice work man, Nice work indeed=}
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
thank you again
and a new version is up, based off of 2.7.8 for the nexus s i beleive. henry_01 goes more into detail about it in the link in the op. i've noticed this one to be a tiny bit faster and now has all the google stuff baked in
edited: now should read all wallpapers and sounds added back in
try it out and let me know how i did!

i had another user inform me that the browser and music apks were gone, but i just redownloaded and reinstalled and they are both there. i think maybe it was a bad flash lol
there are still theme issues im not sure of, im still looking into them. and i did remove the file explorer app, as most people just use es or astro anyway.
other than that it seems to be working fine on my end.

Whew, glad there isn't an issue with the browser. I'll redownload then, see if that helps, because I do have the music apk. Might want to take a look at the xda build of the miui file explorer, it has root and a bunch of other goodies, that's what I'm using on my incredible atm, looks great and works great too.
K ill take a look at the Miui file browser.
And this is an hdpi rom according to the contents of the apks. It came from the nexus s I believe so that could explain alot.

It's probably just me but I'm having root issues on this ROM. I have Superuser downloaded. I even flashed the su 3.0.7 zip (Latest SU zip I'm aware of) I'm rooted obviously or else I wouldn't be here. It's just on this ROM. I tried reflashing this 3 times. Other than that, it's a really great ROM. It runs very smoothly.
Sorry about the su issues, but I think its the way that miui implements su that gives us headaches. In settings somewhere, there should be an option for root access I'm just not sure where it is. I'll look into it.

Yeah I've look at the system settings and unless it's under a different name, I don't see anything that deals with root access.
so here it goes guys. im out of the game for now. expect no new updates on the ics roms i have ported before. jb is the future, and shelnutt is the guy to get us into the future. ics roms never quite ran great anyway, so no big loss. i may pop back up in the future and throw down on some jb paranoidandroid, aokp, miui, or anything of the such, but i cannot guaruntee a thing. its been nice, but support for these roms stops here. (unless of course, anyone else would like to take these over for me, or i can get the guys from gsm hero using my allinone installer full time, then heroc will have everything they get)
if anyone would like to take over, please message me. ill be more than willing to send everything your way, since im way too busy with life in general right now.
Just upgraded to tweeked 3 and have some problems:
1. I can't find the voicemail app & don't know how to call VM. where do I get the app?
2. Buddies now is missing. Won't restore via titanium backup.
3. I migrated from eclipse rom. How do I get the eclipse rom keyboard and colors?
4. Howdo Irestore the default power on and power off animations?
5. Verizon Data APP / My veerizon forces close on startup.
I think that is it for now. Will post when I have some time to play with it.

1. You don't need the app for voicemail. Just dial *86 or hold down 1 in the dialer.
2. Buddies now is considered bloat and you can only use it on the stock launcher anyway. If you want it it is in tweaktools.
3. I believe eclipse keyboard was either a themed ICS or themed Swype (I don't remember which - it was too long ago). Either way both are available if you search. As for the colors - since Nitro stopped working on the charge we don't have that, but there are a lot of themes on tweaktools.
4. Tweaktools
5. It works fine for me. Could be a bad flash, could be something else.
And I guess we have another nocturnal person here.
The vvm stuff was also deemed bloat, but all of that stuff can be restored using tweaktools OR the system apps and system app flasher in the tweaked op. Jihad has you covered on the rest (thanks Jihad).
I got the verizon app to work after deleting and reinstalling. The rest I can live with till I have a chance to research Tweaktools. Most of the stuff is minor and just me being picky as I'm not yet used to the tweeked ROM.
Tweakedtools: doesn't seem to be working. I can get into the menu and install a theme and buddies now, but they don't act as though they ever got installed. even rebooted. What the heck?

Ok. now it has the permission and does install things like buddies now, but when I try to install a theme or boot animation I get the android robot with the exclamation point and it does not install. what can I possibly be doing wrong? do i need to install something like CWM?

You don't have CWM installed? I doubt it works with stock recovery. When you installed Tweaked did you use the Odin version without CWM? You should get and install CWM.
The only 2 boot animations that work are Stock Galaxy S boot and Stock DROID boot. They use the Samsung format that works with the stock kernel. Themes should work though.
Ok. Now I understand. I did use oden version without cwm. Now I need to oden cwm and I'll be good to go.
EDIT:
Thanks for the info, everything works.
Now I need to find a suitable keyboard---possibly one that mirrors the one in the eclipse rom.
On another note, I'm not all that happy with any of the included themes. How to I create the theme I want?
If you know Java and smali, you can rip apart the framework and make your own theme.

The eclipse keyboard is a themed version of this I think.

I have no idea on how to work with Java or what smali is.
I do have the old eclipse ROM. can't i take the theme files from there and somehow load them to the phone?
Regarding the keyoard, I couldn't get that swipe one to install as the app keeps asking me to login and I don't know how to generate a username and password. I'm now thinking that it was a Samsung keyboard, but I could be wrong.
Smali is basically the decompiled Android version of Java. In Android, everything gets packed up in .dex files for the Dalvik VM (Android's optimized version of the Java VM), and when you decompile them, you get Smali. It's like Java, but "distorted", for lack of a better word. If you know how to read Java, you can feel your way around, but it's different enough that even if you're good with Java, you'll have to relearn some things for Smali.
well...I did some searching on line and I think the stock theme that comes preloaded at the factory is what I want to get back to. Also the default Samsung keyboard is the one I want.
I'm leaning towards tossing tweaked out the window rather than getting frustrated. If I do that what do I loose and how would I add root to stock?
also, I can't manage to get the phone to vibrate when i tap the screen. Haptic feedback. How do I turn it on?

No. What you think of as "files" are a series of edits in the framework. Obviously the framework for Tweaked is for Tweaked, and Eclipse is for Eclipse. If you're going to try to interchange these things you may as well just reinstall Eclipse.
For Swype, I'm not sure what you're talking about. There's a big honking button that says "register" on the website.

Not sure what you're looking at. The theme in Eclipse is NOTHING like the dickbutt gold (or pumpkin and poo) in stock. And the stock Samsung keyboard is God awful. Why not try something like SwiftKey 3? Swype is pretty good too, and it's free.
To root after restocking, all you would need to do is flash the SuperUser or SuperSU (whichever is your preference) zip in CWM. When you move from Tweaked (the only current custom ROM on the charge, by the way) you lose essentially everything. Dwitherell has put in numerous tweaks to improve the UI speed, and he has put in TSM parts... Plus you'll be back to the bloated whale this phone is at stock.
I believe most of the haptic feedback was removed in Tweaked because most view it as an annoying useless feature. I could be completely wrong but I don't really feel anything even though my haptic feedback is on.

I did nothing that would add or eliminate haptic feedback (outside of the entry in tsmparts, but I did nothing to hook that in if it needed hooking). Also, the stock samsung keyboard is called AxT9IME.apk. Sorry Tweaked is not to your liking. Have you tried the tw4 theme? That seems closer to the stock look at least. I didn't think anyone used it, but I can do a little work and get a stock theme variant together if you want. Also, rumor is some theme options will be added/returning soon...
And for what its worth flashing something different is a far better alternative then anything to do with a window.
Thanks for all the useful info. I must start by saying that i do like tweaked. It is much faster than what i had with eclipse. That said im not sure how much is due.to the rom and what is due.to the upgrade ota. I believe its mostly the rom. Way to go!
As for colors im not opposed to whats available im just used to what i had. The big complaint is that the calendar widgit does not have black text on a white background. Its not as legible but not horible. I can live with it. Im surprised there is no way to change colors like there is in windows control panel. Or an app for that. Oh well.
Thanks for.the keyboard.info. I'll take a look for it at lunch. As for missing the register button...it was to early to be doing anything tech.
Im sure that over time ill get more used to tweaked and be glad ro be uding it.
One last request...stock shutdown animation
Thats enough for now.

To be fair most of the speed change is due to the OTA - most of the edits made were the same as they were in the FP1 version, so I can't really take credit for that sort of thing. I don't have nor do I pretend to have the sort of skill necessary to do such things
As far as the stock shutdown animation, if there's some interest I could try to get that together. It required a number of framework.jar edits to switch the shutdown animation focus from reading a .qmg file to displaying a sequence of .pngs, so I would have to undo that sort of thing to make the shutdown.qmg work again. It wouldn't be too hard, so if there's some interest in that I can put something together and throw it on tweaktools.
I have interest but am not sure who else does and if its worth the time.
I googled the keyboard apk and downloaded it but it will not install. Is there a certain version that i need?

FWIW, I really lock the Tweaked Shutdown animation. Just need to find a sound byte to go with that (for those occasions when my phone shuts down without me knowing) - thinking of getting something from Southpark's tweak.
as for keyboards, have you tried ICS Keyboard? best in my experience.
Ice is not my thing. I just like the Samsung keyboard best. Just can't find a copy that installs.
Also what about stock screenshot setting?
