I've decided to release two of the ROMs I use frequently. These are pretty much the stock ROMs made by the respective owners; Adam G & Cyanogen, however i've removed some stuff that I never use.
I've added the apps+cache2sd to Cyan's ROM because it doesn't have it native yet, and I've also reintegrated Google Apps back in to save two flashes.
I symlink /etc/hosts to /sdcard/etc/hosts because AdFree can't update the file in it's default location due to rw limits on /system.
I've also added some apps that I always installed anyway, but i've put them on /data/apps so they can be easily removed if you want to.
There are two branches with essentially the same mods:
C = CyanogenMod
O = Open Desire
Current base ROMS
C - CyanogenMod 6 RC2 & DT A2SD+ v2.7.5rc2 + Google Apps re-integrated
O - Open Desire 3.4.2
Common features:
- ADW Launcher 1.1.1 as stock launcher
- Black status bar with custom full colour icons
- Icons patched in MMS, Market, GMail to work with black status bar
- "hosts" file symlinked to /sdcard/etc/hosts to allow AdFree updating
- Magic Smoke & Visualisation Live wallpapers removed.
- Amazon MP3 removed
- ProTips removed
- QuickOffice removed
- Facebook & Twitter moved to /data/app - allows easy removal
Addtional Apps - all installed to /data/app
- AdFree
- Facebook
- Twitter
- RomManager
- SetCPU 2.0.2
- Titanium Backup
- Quick Settings
TO-DO
- Optimize PNG's
- Build in interface colour change without having to import from sdcard
- Build in ADW settings
- Boot animation
- More sexy visual changes
- Make status bar battery percent less jumpy
- Fix SetCPU FC on O branch

I like the idea behind it, will give it a try. Its pretty much exactly what I did after I put Cyanogen RC2 cept I didn't bother with the App2SD.
Sounds interesting mate, I gave a look to CyanogenMod' ROM some weeks ago and I loved it, but I can't live without A2SD+.
Thank you.
Hmmm.. I've been waiting for old school a2sd in cyanogen.
Will give it a try (besides, you'll probably get me fired if I dont )
EDIT:
The cyanogen one worked nicely, abeit a tad slower in quadrant than OD 3.4.2
Not sure if adfree is working, as I'm seeing ads in things that I dont get ads in in OD
nandroided back to my modded OD, although I did flash your font over afterwards
Install went fine with no issues. Quite impressed with it. Good job.

I just flashed the cyanogen based version. Very, very nice; working well for me. But seems heavy on battery. Thanks a lot.

Strange, i had it running ALL night playing MP3's and its only dropped to 60%.
Also there shouldn't be any difference between this and the original ROM as i've not tweaked them power usage wise.

Did you add /sdcard/etc/hosts? It's present on mine when I flash, i might have to add one to the ROM to make the symlink work. Did it write one to your card?

I just noticed that the battery indicator does not drop gradually; it drops in steps of 20%. After a full charge, it stayed on 100% for quite a while, and then it dropped straight to 80%. This led me believe the Rom was eating up the battery.

Ah yeah I noticed that too, I'm going to update the battery graphics today and hopefully fix that. I'll put a patch as well as a full build for both as I'm updating some of the built-in apps too.

I am waiting your rom based last "OpenDesire v3.5.0", but I prefer a Mod for only update AOSP.
Wait & see
I'm not sure if it did create a hosts file or not, guess I'm just used to dnlgee's hosts file that's in od
I've picked your rom apart, and made a zip that'll add the bits I want from it to flash over od (just the font and a few command line utils that are in cyanogen but not od). Let me know if anyone wants it uploading somewhere

I'm going to do 3.5.1 tonight, if I can get the sodding framework-res.apk to recompile after i change it, grrrrrr.
Here y'are, its "signed" but my first attempt at signing failed, so needs the verification turning off in clockworkmod..

After using miui I can't go back to any other. The features and functionality of this ROM is just beyond what I ever thought would be possible in an android device.
Their slogan is "Redefining Android" and they surely are.
I was on the fence if I should try this ROM or not since Weapon was pretty awesome too , but after trying this one I'm not looking back.
Thanks goes to Whitehawkx, Segnaro, Jface for making this happen.
****Note****: if themes are not working for you is because you need to go to /data/system and create a folder called theme.
Sent From My G2x running MIUI
Let's post the functionality that this ROM has for those that aren't sure what "we" are talking about.
I will post what I remember and then If you guys remember any other feature post it, then I'll update this post with the feature you posted.
Themes - can be downloaded directly from ROM and apply within the ROM. You can theme things separately like the dialer, status bar, toggles, icons, lock screens, messaging app, etc. You can dip all this with the theme manager engine they use. Ability to change fonts within ROM without restarting phone.
Features -
Dialer - record calls and take notes within the dialer during a call. Two big features I always wanted.
Dialer also works as a T9 keyboard
Browser - scroll up and down with volume rockers (pretty cool), hitting the back button actually goes back, not like other browsers.
Screenshots - by pressing menu+ vol down
Settings - Redesigned setting menu with added features and tabs to categorize each setting menu.
Ability to track data usage
Integrated app killer and app manger by long pressing the home key also by long pressing the back key, closes the app completely.
Lock screen - hold down home button will turn on torch
Toggles - when long pressing a toggle, it will open that toggle setting screen.
Camera - added features like Sutter control, zoom in screen, adjustable brightness on screen, touch to focus and redesigned camera skin.
A whole bunch more that I'm sure I'm forgetting or don't know about.
Keep posting features below!

Dude I totally agree, this rom is just amazing it pretty much uses the same kernel As cm so u know the speed is there, it actually feels a little more fluid. And on any other rom when u go to change the lockscreen or even launcher, u have to do a little , "work" and u have to be a little tech savvy for that part, but with miui they make it so damn easy someone coming from the razor could do it LOL , and there is so much options to choose from, **** sitting on latest kernel source, voodoo, and some badass 3d animations, very cool rom oh and moshe22 when u hit back with the browser it actually goes back a page u don't have to hit it a zillion times, the volume scroll is badass

Updated features post with the back button feature in the browser
And yeah this ROM just amazing and full of features.

I used MIUI on my G2 or vibrant, can't quite remember. I liked it a lot, but the battery life was so poor I couldn't stick with it. How is it on our phones? I don't need 15 or 20 hours or anything, but wouldn't mind something decent.
Also, are there different ports of MIUI for our phone? If so, are they all pretty much the same? Thinking I'm gonna give MIUI another shot, but want to use the version available that will leave the best taste in my mouth.

What do you wipe?
The way I do it is: Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, /system and then flash ROM, fix permission and the enjoy
Sent From My G2x Running MIUI
yeah I wipe dalvic cache, cache, system.. multiple times just for safety, but i havnt fixed permisions.. i will search out 1.8.12 and give it a shot
Been running Miui since last August/September, whenever it was ported to Evo. Sans CM its by far the fastest, smoothest, most stable rom out there. I haven't seen any reason to switch since it was released for G2x. I'm still on 1.7.26, and dont feel the need to upgrade. Thats how good Miui is.
On my G1 I was flashing roms every day. Moved to Evo/NS and flashed once or twice a week.
On my G2x? I think I've flashed mayyybe 4 roms since 4/20. Why? Cause anything LG touches turns to poop. No offense to all the bomb devs, but CM/Miui are the only things worth running on this phone. I dont get why anyone even wants to run a stockish build when CM/Miui are so much better in every single aspect.

Also the keyboard closes just randomly... very weird. I love this rom too so far but this issue sucks..

First - huge thanks to team Virtuous - this is all there work, I have just debloated.
If Virtuous finds this offensive then please do the necessaries and remove this thread, it doesn't phase me, I just thought I'd spend couple hours putting this together for the average MT4Gs flasher
Having had great success with the VU ROM supplied in this forum, I decided to kindly post a version I am currently using - which has around 120mb of unwanted apps/media removed. (system partition comes to around 332mb rather then around 530mb which I had with the original VU rom.)
Orig ROM 376mb
This ROM 246mb (8mb of which are new wallpapers placed on sd - hence 238mb.)
(media is very slim, contains my custom mario notifications and only 2 ringtones: 'Crystal Silence' and 'Again & Again'.)
I have added around 8mb of wallpapers to the new /sdcard/virtuous_unity/wallpaper folder.... use gallery to apply
Removed majority of default skins & lockscreens - I use Honey HD or Slate 3D for skins & only want the basic lockscreen (no weather, clock lockscreen etc.)
The ONLY HTC Widget I included is calendar, as I have no need/want for the others.
Finally, I have no real need for flashy bootanimations, so I have replaced the ~8mb VU anime for a basic/lightweight one I could find (1.5mb droid b/w version.)
Instructions:
Ok, I like to retain as much of my data & apps prior to flashing.
I use MyBackUpPro to backup data (specifically, call logs, sms/mms, dictionary, bookmarks, android home, android settings.)
Similarly use Titanium Backup to backup (any newer apps/versions before flashing any new rom), then to Restore these apps with data post new rom flash. I find it takes you back nicely to the state you were at... that's just my way though
Do a Nandroid Backup!
1 I am running this on Modaco 4.0.0.9!........ I can't say if this will work on the newer/latest recovery as I am having issues using that recovery with any rom, so I can't help diagnose if it fails to install on that recovery for you.
2 Toggle Signature Verify (in recovery under 'other' I think) : Turn Signature Verification OFF (allowing you to flash unsigned .zip files) - this should hopefully be set to Verification OFF by default I believe!
3 wipe everything
4 flash this rom
5 flash the 2.39.1 patch (found in VU goodies link below.)
6 flash optional "Smooth_Scrolling_App_Drawer" update (I like the 5*5 app draw personally - 3 versions available...found in VU goodies link below.)
7 flash optional battery mod (found in VU goodies link below.)
8 reboot
9 Swype will be expired. You need to edit the build.prop manually as it doesn't stick when hard coding it into the roms build.prop.
You will need root explorer - Install 'root explorer' manually using filepicker/explorer where root explorer can be found here for installation 'sdcard/virtuous_unity/app.rom' folder.
10 Now open root explorer and navigate to the system folder, now mount R/W. Hold press the build.prop file and Edit in Text pad, down to around line 64 and edit ro.product.brand=htc_wwe.... by replacing htc_wwe with tmous this is case sensitve Save & Exit from this text editor.
Now 'Save & Exit' this file.
11 Now Power off the device
12 Battery pull!!!!!!!!
13 Insert battery
14 Power back on.
15 enjoy
(you will notice in the lock screen, of the 4 icons, the 2nd one defaults to Mail.apk - however, I have removed this from this rom as I am a gmail.apk user only - goto personalize, lock screen, wallpaper (current) and customize this default configuration.)
That's about it - Nothing major here - just a slimline VU rom.
I won't be supporting this per-say - I'm here simply sharing, providing MT4Gs users with another option
I will say that the force close that came with the original VU Rom - post boot up/turn on device (I'd receive a HTC Sense fc) on every boot up - however I'm not getting that on this stripped down version - a bonus I guess

But yeah 3.5 apparantly by end of this week I heard.
I'd self claim that this is the cleanest fastest rom we have. But try it yourself
Been running for 2 days, superb battery & no fcs no errors whatsoever. And that's the truth moreso then what others are saying every other day they update there roms, like 'its perfect, flawless, bug free' when really they are far from it, annoyed at what was going on, I chose to do this to VU, cos it works so well.
I challenge anyone to make this rom crash. Booooyaaaaaa

Just a couple things....
One putting a paid app in a rom and distributing it is a violation of rules here so you might want to replace root explorer with a free app like ES File Explorer (think you can edit the build prop with it)
Plus all you have done is delete a few apps and then post it as a ROM which would be wrong...I mean you just deleted a few sense parts...the Size of the ROM is not a big deal with an Android ROM...Linux and Windows run differently with RAM and space...but I really don't see why you post this as a new ROM you could of potentially just posted this in the VU thread and Chris could of put it in the OP if he felt was a need to post....I am not dogging the fact you can delete apps...although not to hard for anyone to do....
BakaG2X 2011-11-20 (Final 2.3.3 Version - OR IS IT?)
---------
NOTE:
--
Here is a pretty clean and basic ROM based on the LG 2.3.3 OTA.
It is designed for those who want a good clean base to do their OWN addons to, while removing more bloat than was added.
This is the FINAL release of BakaG2X on 2.3.3. I will also release a 2.3.4 ROM, but it will be offered separately.
WiFi Calling is included as T-Mobile's signal is horrible. Thank you.
UPDATE NOTES:
This version cleans up a few things in the theme primarily, and sets a couple of tweaks that weren't done before. Not a big change over the previous version. The only build available comes with Wifi Calling. If you don't WANT wifi calling, you can simply remove Kineto.apk from the /system/app folder, and I recommend doing so if you don't use it.
The biggest theme change can be seen on the notification pulldown here, and I've updated that screenshot.
As before, bloat is available in the various bloat packs. If you have downloaded these before, you don't need to download them again, there have been no changes to those packs.
---------

KNOWN ISSUES - BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN NO SURPRISES
- Bluetooth may crash upon pairing. This is fixed in my 2.3.4 Rom, Tsugi.
- Kernels: I have tried both Faux123 and DragonG2X. They boot & Run, but have their own known issues. Cannot support them.
- Lockscreen lag. This is an issue with any LG based ROM. Some report it doesn't happen if you use certain 3rd party launchers.
- Toggle2G will ask for root permissions on bootup, and be denied automatically. You'll see a popup about that that goes away on its own. If you want to use the app, just open it manually and it will bring up the normal SuperUser prompt where you can approve superuser permissions.
- Stock Camera. If you want LG-Cam, you know how to get it.
- On the FIRST BOOT, the Media process will sometimes FC. It does not do this AFTER the first boot, and it doesn't always do it.

Looks legit, seems like you've got all the bases covered.
I'd like to try it this weekend, give you some feedback.
And thanks for the little tidbits of info, didn't know Wifi Calling sucked up battery even when not in use.

It was horrible on my Vibrant. I think it has improved on the G2X, but still not perfect. It receives notifications on all signal changes, even if you don't have it set up to use. I'm not sure if it does that if you're not on T-Mobile... best to remove the APK if you're not using it.
Going to give it a try
Good to see a new dev on here. I'm going to back up my rom and give this a shot. Will post results.
Looks very nice. I love the transparent notification pulldown and those quick panel icons look sick!

I have to not take credit for the actual pulldown graphics, I just ported them using dreamsforgotten's guide!
Looks great thank you. Gonna run it for a bit and see how it does. But first thing to look me in the face is.......Wow! This bad boy absolutely flies!

Did you check the md5 hash? It appears at least a couple others have successfully downloaded it, but I'll double check it.
When you say won't install - what happens?
In CWM it says "Installation Aborted" right after I try to start the install. I redownloaded a third time from another site using Firefox instead of Chrome and it worked. I like what I see so far! Thanks.

Could be the window animation effect. It animates the lock screen going away.... didn't mention that in the changelog.

Its not the animation. I see that. Pretty cool. But the home screen comes on, then flashes black, then comes on again. Only happens on the home screen, no other screen. Oddly enough, when turn animations off it does not do it. But I run "some animation" and you did nice work yours. Hate to waste it. so far everything is very smooth and noticeably faster than im used to.

Ahh, the homescreen lag. Yeah, I've seen that on a number of stock-based Roms.. something is up with LG's code. I've seen it go away and then come back, no idea what causes it. Doesn't happen on Cm7/MIUI roms. But, I need everything to work, so I don't use those.

no rom that isn't based on cm7, will be able to run theme chooser.
Wow awesome rom!
A version of this based on 2.3.4 without wi-fi calling would be the perfect rom though. Please consider?
no kernel for 2.3.4 and he said you can uninstall wifi calling, if u dont need it.
Hey, thanks for answering my question directed at someone else!!
The reason I asked is because the base 2.3.4 is much faster and more stable and has gtalk video.
This im my first public ROM so please be helpful,I just started playing with android and I'm still learning. I missed times when Paradoxx was releasing his Hydrogen so I decided to make my own light rom.
Internet is back so updates will be coming more often
I used Lord Clockan's IceColdSandwich - all credit goes to him and big thanks to him for the great ROM, some tips and for letting me do this
This is essentially IceCold but lightened.

Always nice to see someone making a new rom. Will definitely try yours later when I get home from work! Liked what Paradoxx did as well.

deleted ringtones (one alarm, one phone and one notification left)

I know it's not much but it's a start. ROM is only 113MB (40MB lighter). Next time I will try to make even smaller. Hope you like it:

Just like Lord Clockan's ICS but with a different wallpaper and less apps in app drawer, i guess
This is the same as IceCold. The default font is a bit different though. Other changes are listed above. I will post some shots later

I hope to see more than just reduced number of apps
Keep up the good work!
this post in interduction the new rom?? :-o
really ?
where is screen shots?
where is working or not working?
plz correct this post
I've been using LorD ClockaN's ROM for a long time now I'm a big fan of his work and effort that he's put into it, however.. a 'lite' version sounds great to me!
My layout on my phone, the way I customize it, is the exact same as whats in your ROM description. 3 home pages, no download tab in apps, the ringtones and notification etc... Thats all music to my ears brotha'! I hope he doesn't mind me using yours from now on, after all I now no longer have to change things after first boot Welcome to the scene haerigrek and thanks for making the world a better place. Hope you have lots of fun with it!!
PS. Great minds think alike lol

As mentioned on the first post. It is LordClockan's ICS 7.4.
It looks like that.
I'll enhance the first post as you obviously haven't read it.

Just installed the rom, so far so good. Runs smooth, as to expected since the base rom you use. Would like to know if you have any tweaks coming in next versions?
Keep up the good work!
Edit:
Just noticed the mail app is missing, on purpose?
Google search is missing: using the soft button doesn't work, adding the quick search widget doesn't work either.

Yes I'm using only the Gmail so the stock email app is gone. The search button may not work. As I deleted GoogleQuickSearch, there is no search application. I will look into that and if necessary the app will be back. I never used it so I didn't even notice.
For future releases I'm planning on even more set customization. I started deleting languages. In next release the apex launcher will be english only (or if requested maybe some other languages). I am also waiting for some faster launcher to appear. I like Apex a lot, it reminds me of ADW but with all the customization options it tends to slow down after some time. I was thinking about replacing the stock browser since there are some problems with it but Chrome isn't ready and I don't want to impose any other browser on you guys + 7.5 is on its way and the issues with the browser should be fixed by then.
I would like to ask which battery icon would you guys like me to leave. I deleted all of them which ended up with an error mentioned in the first post. I am willing to bring one back but I need to know which one will be the happiest choice for you. After all I am sharing this so you can be happier Cheers
I would suggest just a percentage (in numbers, nothing flashy)
Thanks for your effort - running smoothly at moment (apart from the problems you've pointed out yourself)
Look forward to next update

Thanks for support but I'm not developing, I'm merely modifying a great ROM to make it lighter to save space and maybe make the ROM run quicker.
It would be nice if you could refresh screenshots. I don't know how rest, but i like to see pictures of rom i am going to flash ;]
Btw. On first look, it seems quite nice.
This ROM looks like a cool idea! I just had a suggestion, I don't know if its in your "philosophy" of the ROM but wouldn't it be better if you left a little more stuff/everything in and let people choose what to keep or remove through Aroma.
For instance you can chose your ringtone at the start and not have extra ones wasting space or some people might want the stock sms and others might just prefer one from the play store.
Just my 2 cents
