Japanese Text Display - AwesomeICS - myTouch 4G General

Hi,
I've recently put Awesome ICS 3.6 into my Glacier and aside from a few tweaks, the ROM is very good. Probably the most complete ICS rom available for this device.
However, there is only one issue that I've been having. Japanese Characters will not display anywhere throughout the ROM or in Applications.
I'm not sure if this is a ROM issue or a Kernel issue. I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction for resolving this.
Thanks.

For anyone else having issues displaying Japanese or Chinese text, I found a similar posting in the Awesome ICS Dev thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26848771&highlight=japanese#post26848771

Yes sorry I had taken a lot of stuff out the rom to make it lighter didn't think that would make a difference but I see it does will re add it next time

Above posting worked, but the author didn't post the file required. I've attached it to this post. ADB the file in the archive (inclusive of path) to the phone and restart.
This file should work with just about any ROM since it is only a TTF file.

Not a problem. I think this ROM really is amazing. I had to work out a couple kinks.
- Japanese font support (had to add the aforementioned TTF font)
- CPU Clock Management "AX Control" in system panel doesn't work, workaround is to use "ROM Toolbox" for changing frequencies and govenors
- Tried Tiamat V2 kernel, but stability was a problem with a few applications ie. PowerAMP. MDEEJAYs Kernel has been stable. I'm not sure why but problems went away after the kernel switch.
And thank you for your reply. I think you guys have done good work here. Given the age of the MT4G (Glacier), I expect this to be the only ICS ROM that will reach full completion. I think many others have moved on for development.

[ROM] Tsugi (1-4) - FINAL [2.3.4] - W/OPTIONAL OC/UV KERNELS

OUT OF DATE Tsugi Version 2012-1-4 (a 2.3.4 "Stock" Based ROM)
FINAL
---------
OUT OF DATE I RECOMMEND USING THE OTA INSTEAD
OUT OF DATE I RECOMMEND USING THE OTA INSTEAD
THREAD CLOSED, NOTHING NEW TO SEE HERE
---------
This is the FINAL release of Tsugi. There are just too many bugs with the G2X regardless of which Rom a person is using to deal with. I have spent 80% of my time tracking down issues that are due to LG's code and firmware.
If someone wants to take Tsugi and fix any existing issues, they may feel free to do so. I'm not picky, as long as credit is given for the work that I did.
THIS IS BASED ON LG CODE. AS SUCH, THERE ARE A FEW KNOWN ISSUES THAT CANNOT OR HAVE NOT YET BEEN RESOLVED. DO NOT POST ANY ISSUES UNLESS YOU HAVE READ POST #2 IN ITS ENTIRETY.
---------
LATEST NEWS 1-8-12
This, 1-4, is the FINAL release of Tsugi.
Fixed in this release is the signing issue that was causing Market purchases to fail. Also returning is Google Backup Transport.
NOTE: This Rom is Carrier-IQ FREE!
There are a number of addons that can be flashed after running the full install or the update. Not only can you flash to the P990 (LG) Camera, you can now restore the stock Android Music (instead of Google Music), set touchkey lights to be less bright, overclock and undervolt, or just overclock without undervolting for more stability. All of this and more AT POST NUMBER THREE.
Bloater is included in the Rom. If you select G2X (Lotherius) from the Bloater menu, you can add/remove a large number of items from the Rom, including T-Mobile bloat.

FAQ / KNOWN ISSUES / TROUBLESHOOTING
READ THIS BEFORE POSTING THAT SOMETHING DOES NOT WORK AS EXPECTED!
I didn't want to put this at the top, but I guess I have to.
IF YOU ARE USING ONE OF THE ADDON OVERCLOCKING KERNELS YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR PHONE MAY BECOME UNSTABLE, CRASH, REBOOT, OR TAKE OVER THE GALAXY AS OUR NEW ANDROID OVERLORD.
It may look like there are MORE known issues with this Rom than there are with others. I don't believe there are. The difference is, I'm open and honest about every flaw I know of, whether I think it is due to the quality of my own work, or is a pre-existing issue with the LG firmware or even hardware. You shouldn't have to "just know" about certain problems. So I'm very clear about any known issues. Many of these issues exist in other LG Roms as well, they just are not documented.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- TIPS --
If you have any problems installing the Rom, wipe the system completely by flashing G2XScrubber from Post #3 and then flash the Rom again. This applies especially if coming from any other 2.3.4 Rom other than Tsugi (Such as Jboxer's Roms) since they have a different kernel than I use.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- DOWNLOADER TRICKS--
1: I flashed this Rom and it won't boot/bootloops/loads but everything is messed up!
Make sure you actually downloaded the correct file. Only the CORE DOWNLOAD is a full Rom. You may not, cannot, and will regret, if you use an Updater on any other Rom. If you are still having trouble flashing, use the G2XScrubber from post #3 first. It will format your system, cache and data partitions pre-wipe to make sure there are no leftovers from an older Rom.
2: I flashed the Rom, and now my themes are gone!
By "No-Wipe" in this case, it *does* wipe the /system/ partition which is where your themes and boot animations are loaded. Your data partition, however, is safe. You will need to reinstall any themes or SYSTEM Add-Ons that you installed in CWM or with Root access.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- BROKEN STUFF --
1: I get reboots when mounting/unmounting my SD Card.
This appears to be an issue in the underlying LG code which I have not found the cause for at this time. It does not affect all users, so it may have to do with individual SD Cards. If you are having this problem, try formatting both your internal and external SD Cards. I don't know if that will fix it, though, as I personally don't have the problem.
2: I get a SOD or Crash while using Bluetooth.
Again, it appears to be an underlying LG Issue. I've made a little progress, but still haven't solved the issue.
3: My phone randomly reboots.
Appears that there may still be some LG issues with that. My phone doesn't do it, but some do. If you're using the Under Volted kernel, then try the Stock Voltage one. Hope for a bug-free ICS release. See Broken Stuff #1 also. Use the stock kernel if all else fails.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- KNOWN ISSUES --
1: A popup says "radio was denied root permissions" when I boot my phone!!!!
Run the Toggle2G app. Approve root permissions. If you don't want the Toggle2G app, you can remove it using Bloater, which is pre-installed. You didn't uninstall Bloater, did you?
2: The Reboot and Recovery options are missing.
These 2 items have been temporarily removed from the Power Menu until I can further troubleshoot issues people were having getting the phone to actually, you know, shut off. For now, use the included 2XReboot app if you need to easily reboot into recovery. But really, with Rom Manager updates now, you shouldn't need to!
3: I got a force close from the Media process on first bootup!
This is due to a corrupt file or thumbnail on your memory card. It will only happen on the first bootup, but if it really bugs you you'll have to remove the corrupt file from your memory card. Most of the time it's a thumbnail. This bug also exists on stock LG Roms, it isn't a Tsugi issue.
4: I flashed Faux123 or DragonG2X or some other kernel and it doesn't work right! Y U NO MAKE IT WORK?
Actually... ..... download Oyasumi - the 2.3.4 overclocking Kernel from Post #3 - and you'll be all set. Oyasumi is essentially Faux123 1.3 recompiled and packed with init scripts for 2.3.4. So you should expect the same performance - and issues - of Faux123 v1.3. That said, I cannot and will not troubleshoot crash/freeze/reboot/SOD issues with any kernel other than the one that comes in the core ROM.
5: I don't want WiFi Calling.
Then delete /system/app/kineto.apk with root explorer. If you do you're going to get force closes immediately, but just pull battery and restart, and it will all be good. There is some debate over whether or not the libraries that support it use battery. I don't think they do, but Kineto.apk sure does. Soon you'll be able to remove it using the Bloater app.
6: My GPS is screwy. Again.
Lol, so is mine. But seriously, folks... This includes the best GPS fix I could find and it works for me and many others. It's still not where I'd say I'm "pleased" with it, but it has gotten me out of pinches. That said, it is tuned for the central USA. If you are in Europe or Uzbekistan or Atlantis, then you might need to redo your gps.conf with some local servers. That's something the factory normally does for you when it targets the market to sell a phone to.
7: I don't like the boot animation.
Instead of messaging me privately with your feelings about how the boot animation threatens your masculinity, learn to change it yourself. For those who don't feel threatened by it, it's actually a reference to a character named Kyuube from the anime Madoka Magica. And, once you get to know the character, he's the anti-cute.

What? Your issue isn't one of those above? Congratulations, you might have a reason to gripe/complain/compliment! Go for it!
Tsugi Addons & Packs
A collection of PACKS AND ADDONS for Tsugi 2.3.4. Some of these may work on other Roms, but they are specifically designed to work on the L95G 2.3.4 leak upon which Tsugi is based, and specifically on Tsugi itself.
G2X Scrubber
The G2X Scrubber is designed to format your system, data and cache partitions. It will also take them back to ext3 after having had them as ext4 partitions, so you can use an ext3 kernel. If you want to revert to the STOCK kernel on Tsugi after using Oyasumi, this is required. It is also useful to ensure a FULL WIPE with no traces of the old left behind. WARNING: THIS WILL WIPE YER PHONE. It won't be bootable after run this script, UNTIL you Flash a New Rom. Instructions: 1. Flash G2X Scrubber in CWM. 2. Flash ANY Rom of Your Choice.
Download: NO DOWNLOAD LINK THANKS TO UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

Kernels
Even though I provide these kernels matched to this ROM, I cannot and will not troubleshoot any freeze/crash/SOD issues due to these being known issues with the underlying kernel and I am not actually a kernel dev
That said, if you have issues running at any speed on the Undervolted Kernel, then use the Stock Voltage Kernel as it should prove more reliable.
Oyasumi 0.1 SV -NO DOWNLOAD LINK THANKS TO UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT - (Stock Voltage - Max 1408, Based on Faux123 1.3)

Themes
Theme #1: COLD - By Lotherius - Download -- Screenshots -- Updated 12-31
This theme gives you a bright status bar, notification pulldown and popups. Shadows are chilled, and those warm oranges all over have been frozen to a cold blue. Even the normal black backgrounds in Android have taken on a slight chill. What you can't see in the screenshots is that nearly all of the framework & SystemUI effects have been recolored to have the blues. Not only the overscroll, but radio buttons, checkboxes, pressed item highlights, etc. (note: Wallpaper in the screenshots is available in the Wallpaper Gallery already). Download updated to V2 with fixes for bluetooth crashing and updater-script issue that may have prevented it actually working.
Theme #2: Colorized Androidian - By bmann_420 -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374860 -- Screenshots in post.
Theme #3: Original Tsugi Theme -- Download -- The original theme from Tsugi 12-7 and older. Settings.apk still has color because I didn't feel like making a separate Settings file, and some fixes were made in the settings. But the rest of the theme is from the older Tsugi.
Can you added the modded version of the scrollable quick panel like the one on Weapons Rom? if its possible?
Glad to see one more rom. Is this going to change baseband and that stock g2x 2.3.3 installed? If things doesn't work out can i go back to my cm7 an be happy?

Flashing roms does not effect your baseband.
Nandroid backup, just like you should be doing before flashing anything. =)
Ill give it a shot for sure. The main reason I like changing kernels is for battery life. If this works out in that respect, that would be sweet. Especially if the lg cam works

I am in on this one. Just unpacking but a couple of early comments.
Can you default or bloat pack the LG camera. The stock camera is very bad, and using a custom ROM should improve. Anyone wanting a standard camera can easily download the Camera 360 or what not for free....the LG camera is unique to the phone.
Seem the notifications now are a bright light faint baby blue, which is absolutely fine, not like a deep blue on black, so remove my previous request for change of color.
You were talking about Weapon under the hood changes for twlauncher, I presume if I choose I can install the twlauncher without problems here?
already missing the wallpaper choice you had for Baka
off to try camera install and twlauncher now.

I've had great luck with the battery. You can still use a screen off profile with an app like Pimp my CPU, you just can't OC or UV.
And, I just flashed LG Cam 3.0, and it worked as perfectly as ever... which is to say, if you don't mind a wonkey FFC.. ... Maybe I'll tackle THAT project next since flak0 got ran off the g2x forum ...

1) Well, the problem with the LG Cam is it messes with the front-facing cam for those who use it, so it's pretty broken in that respect. Downloading a 3rd party camera doesn't fix that.
2) I like the new color too.
3) I didn't make the under the hood changes weapon has for TW, so it will probably not work.
4) You can get the wallpapers by flashing the recommended bloat from BakaG2X... it should flash fine.
And... I just noticed something I left in that I was using for myself.... the script that dims the touch key lights.... If that bothers anyone, I'll post a patch for it tomorrow. It's at the end of one of the init scripts - I got tired of using an app to do it.
EDIT:
In addition to the old walls, I plan on including some variation of the attached image in the next build, probably as a boot screen if I can manage to animate it somehow.
Nice, Looking forward to the boot animation
I haven't tried any of the 2.3.4 leaks, are they relativity stable? Meh, doesn't matter anyway, I'll give this a shot.
Had an issue with Keyboard settings option FC when I try to go into it.
flashed twice... no vibrate... few other FC when navigating in settings...

Honestly, they're more stable than 2.3.3 in my experience with it so far... though it could just be being forced to use a stock kernel that gives that illusion.... no 1550mhz overheats.

very... strange... I have full vibration and haven't had a single FC in settings. Can you clarify if you wiped in recovery (though I think this ROM normally wipes on its own), and what you were doing when you had issues in settings?
lotherius said:
As previous comment said, I don't want to just copypasta everything from Weapon. Also, I did take a look at Weapon to see how he did things internally... there are a lot of changes in Weapon you don't see up front. They were required most likely to get Touchwiz working, but still a lot more than most people realize. Since I don't need/want TW, then no need/want to do all that editing
This will not change your baseband. The device the 2.3.4 was leaked from is identical to the G2X in every way, so it is as if this ROM were built for the G2X. You'll be able to flash this as easily as any G2X rom and leave as easily as any G2X Rom.. the only thing you can't do is use custom kernels while you're on this ROM since we don't have 2.3.4 kernel source.
ICS animations are in the ROM already ... though I'm not happy with the speed of the "short" animations, they run faster on LG than on other devices I've seen. I may tweak the speed a bit more. Also keep in mind it's the 2.3 launcher, so the launcher itself doesn't do the same animation as the rest of the rom.
If it turns out I don't get a new job soon I might try my hand at a sliding panel. But, no guarantee as it's a lot of work... and the only reason I've been so productive right now is I'm between jobs...

I've cleared davlik and cache when installing the wrong and having the same issues. Only FC in keyboard though.
Are you in any particular app when the keyboard gave you trouble? I am trying it out again right now and haven't had a single force close. But if others are having the same problem then maybe there is an incompatibility i have just missed. I can pull it from the rom if it turns out to be unreliable .
Edit: I missed where you said settings.. again, it has been fine for me . Maybe i should reflash and make sure nothing got messed up in the final archive.. Not jappy with tje accuracg anf correctjon on this keyboard anywau. Maube someone will come out wiyh a real ICS keyboard that isnt crippled soon.

A ROM with all the following

Ok Guys, Its my first post here but I have been lurking around here for quite some time, so I wont be as annoying as most noobs I guess
Anyway, I've tried many different ROMs on my captivate and I find all of them to be pretty good but I am yet to find one which packs all the goodies I want. They are not too much to ask for IMO. I need your advice and suggestions on this.
I want a ROM with the following in it:
-Extended Power menu(Recovery, Download)
-Touchwiz4 or Touchwiz4.5 launcher
-Gpsfix
-SuperUser Enabled
-ICS boot animation
-ICS themed( but wiht TW4)
-Some Tweaks for more battery life
- Some cool lockscreens(Preferably the ICS lock should be there)
- Shouldn't scoop up too much of memory( In some roms I couldn't get more than 120mb free RAM even in idle state. I want at least 170mb free)

Unfortunately, no one can tell you whats good for you. The only way to go about this is to read. From your questions, it appears that you dont appear too noob So, read the OP and last couple of pages of the threads. They should give a fair idea if anyone is facing any particular issues.
On side note; it appears KK4 source code has been released. So you may want to wait for some time before the magicians (Read: developers) wind their magic for ROMs and kernels.
If none of the roms have all the features...find one with the hardest to do (lock screen for example) and then add the rest in yourself.
This is xda...a place not only to download cool stuff..but also a place to learn how to do things yourself.
Like saying it needs to have a certain boot animation and launcher, that is EASILY changed.
I have found Fasty lll a real nice rom if you haven't tried it yet give it a shot. All you can do is try them to see if you like them.
knighted4
I've flashed MANY different ROM's, and not a single one has given me exactly what I wanted for features(Quite frankly, it's not the Dev's duty to fulfil my every wish). So what you end up with is, find a ROM that has as many of the most important features for you, that aren't apk related, load it, and modify it to suit your needs.
Truely, that is the best you're going to get. There are SO many different options available that it would be near imposible to find one that hits each and every thing on your list.......UNLESS you build the ROM yourself, and you can then cook it to suit your needs
No single ROM can fulfil your every desire...every rom has its highlights and low points but miui is better but u need to look for a touchwiz apk and install. On the bright side miui has customizable boot screen and lock screen

I've been building Oxygen and Roalex from source and have added in my own changes in to both. I've settled on Roalex because it has more patches and updates than I can be bothered to add in manually! (I don't use github, all my changes are done offline etc)
Anyway, the ROM is based on Roalex's source code for his Wip branch as of the beginning of August with:
Lockscreen calendar - with the next 3 appointments shown up to 1 week in advance
Lockscreen Music controls - appear when music is playing and screen is locked, ONLY WORK WITH STOCK GINGERBREAD MUSIC PLAYER! (for some reason). They do work with Winamp but it sometimes mixes up play / pause modes. Not sure why but I prefer the stock player as it's lightweight and themed with my own mods
Lockscreen Torch - long press the home button to enable the torch (I use this so much I had to have it!)
Swipe Away Last Notification and Close Notification Tab - Bit of a gimmick but I liked it!
Fix alarm snooze / dismiss unlocking the screen - Cyanogenmod has this but Oxygen didn't, so I added it. Basically when you dismiss your alarm it unlocks your screen! Which is annoying!
+ My own ICS based theme I've done. Please see screenshots.
All my changes are hard coded in and CANNOT be turned off. Sorry, I could add in the ability to turn them off but this is based on what I want and use so I didn't want the ability to turn them off because I don't want to!
I've also added my own Go Launcher ICS theme, Go Widgets Theme and my calendar ICS theme for Android Pro Widgets.
I've used Holo Launcher as the default launcher and have modified this also, with some graphical changes I prefer!
I've also added in a modified stopwatch & timer app themed by me.
There's also:
720p HW Playback
Trackpad to wake (NOT to unlock)
SDCard buffer modified to 1024KB
T9 Dialler
I've decided not to add in any build.prop tweaks as I'm not convinced they do anything! Or do very little, so I've done none of those this time but anyone is welcome to add them in if you choose to.
As with all my ROMS, this is provided "as is" and no warranty is given or implied, so you can use at your own risk.
If anyone notices any bugs / issues then please let me know or post here!
Anyway, enjoy!

You can choose where to install your apps (same as Mildwild V4.3).
As per the instructions for MW's ROM (thanks SydBarret55), If you want apps on sd-ext:
1. Activate sd-ext:
Go to Setting>Applications>Development
Check SD-EXT
Reboot phone
2. Choose the default location for applications:
Go to Settings > Applications > Preferred install location
Choose sd-ext
Or go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25430232&postcount=3812
You can also move apps individually:

It's basically a mix from the original ICS ROM, Sonny's amazing CM7 theme and some of my own work from all over the place! Like the circle battery mod is taken from the online kitchen (or from dGB by SUroot, can't remember where!) and modified to blue and grey by me. Most the notifications have been colour coded to blue by me and when you press menu, I've tried to colour code all those icons to white as well.
It's taken a long time to get to where it is but like I've posted before, I'm keeping my desire for another 8 months or more so want it to be the way I like it (and hopefully others do as well!)
Nick
Flashed this last night and i'm really impressed with it.
It's super quick. Even booting it up only takes about 10 seconds!
*edit*
Is there any way to change the clock colour to white? I've done theme using the UOT Kitchen and the blue clock doesn't look right.

I would have thought there's a way to do it in the Kitchen but if not you will need to use APKtool to decompile the framework-res.apk file unfortunately.
You can decompile it and edit the following bit in styles: (under res\values\styles.xml)
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar" parent="@android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:textSize">14.0sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ff39b6e7</item> <--------------- change this to ffffffff
</style>
Or you can do it this way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9978779#post9978779
You just need to follow the bit that says notification, date and time (decompiling the systemui.apk file).

Far too complicated for me :silly: i'll leave it how it is.
Excellent work.
I love the symbols of the notification power widget. Just out of curiosity, what exactly did you change/theme regarding the "Holo Launcher"? I've been using the launcher for several weeks now but can't notice any difference.
Great work!
Is there a stand alone Lockscreen Music Control patch for oxygen 2.3.2?
Thanks!
Tanks for this new Rom and for your work . I try it now.
Is your Rom multi-langages ?

I've only really changed a few things, mainly when you press menu the screen is transparent with a white border, instead of solid grey. Also when you press and hold on an icon, thats transparent and has a white border instead of just being solid grey and also when you go into a folder that's transparent with a white border. I've also made the return to desktop icon in the launcher brighter white and changed the play icon to ics blue instead of the semi-transparent white.
Not big changes but I prefer consistency!

I've not created one no, sorry. But it would be possible to do I'm sure. I think all the changes I made for lockscreen controls are in the framework-res location so a patch would be possible, but I won't be doing one, sorry.

It should be as it's based on the original oxygen / roalex sources and they are multi-language. Please let me know how the lock screen calendar looks because there's a string I changed in values for how the date is displayed, such as:
core/res/res/values/donottranslate-cldr.xml
<string name="abbrev_wday_month_day_no_year">E MMM d</string>
But I ONLY added this to values, not values-es and values-it etc etc so I hope Android will default to english and not crash if there's no language specific change. EG:
core/res/res/values-de/donottranslate-cldr.xml
<string name="abbrev_wday_month_day_no_year">E, d. MMM</string>
I presume it just means the date will be formated in UK format and not Spanish, but should still display correctly. Hopefully someone can let me know or post a screenshot to see if there's any issues.
EDIT: Just changed my language a few times and the lockscreen didn't crash or anything it displayed the date but I'm not sure if it's doing it wrong, but it looked OK but I only speak English unfortunately!

If there's a serious bug or update and there's a need to update the Tom then I will do yeah. But I wont be releasing minor graphical changes because the rom is pretty much where I want it graphically.
As for the kernel, I recommend the one that's in the rom as its thalamus' r4 release which is the latest one but has roalex's patch for call recording. If you want things neat you could flash thalamus' standard kernel on top but I expect that would break KSM if you use it (I don't)

Now that you've mentioned it, what are the benefits or using KSM?
I've read a bit about it but, as with compcache, swap and that kind of things, I never find to understand the "pros and cons", and usually dind't feel big differences when enabling and disabling.
Thanks!

I don't use it to be honest and I would doubt you would find much benefit from turning it on. I think it's mainly for when you're running virtual machines on a single host or if you run lots of similar processes on the same host.
So I imagine if you could make 2 calls at once and put one on hold while talking to the other etc then KSM might be able to use parts of that process and merge them in memory, potentially saving memory (totally hyperthetical here!). However, it's probably very minimal gains versus the time it takes for your phone to keep analysing memory pages to merge them!
And in theory, your phone should release memory used for processes once they've finished so even if you did save memory by using KSM in this hyperthetical situation, when you end both calls you should get the memory used released and back available anyway!
I think it only helps to run / do more things at once rather than get speed benefits because if 2 processes need the same memory page again it will create a copy and you have 2 un-merged pages again and more memory used up.
Someone more techy might provide a better insight but in a phone I would say it's not necessary. On a hyperV server running 20 virtual hosts I would say yes!

[Q] Big Fonts - Stable ROM: What's Ideal for the Know-Nothing User?

I sincely don't mean to ask "What's the best ROMzerwow!?" But here's the details anyway, (sorry); I'm looking to help out my old man by making his phone last just a few hours longer which means: Teaching him to use the power switches for wifi & Data, etc. That's my end. but what I cant do, I need to find which is:
• Debloating the phone
There's a lot of crap he doesn't need, let alone use!
• Adjustable Font Size
Most key is a ROM/MOD that allows for LARGE font sizes as sight isn't his strongest point anymore.
• Stability
I understand I'm asking for perfection but I'm not expecting it. That said, which ROMs are the most stable for the Charge? from what I've read, Tweaked ROMs seems to be popular but what seems to be (even an outdated one ie CM7-like, Gingerbread etc) are fine. I want to be able to install and customize the settings for the ol' man and never touch it again to keep things simple and pain free for him (and me).
If I am asking much feel free to point me elsewhere. I came across Odin Flash Guide So I'm assuming this will make it as pain free as possible once I can settle on a ROM or two to experiment with. Just remember to tell me which Build of the ROM you're suggesting
Thanks for your input! Cheers.

right now, Tweaked is the only game in town - and it's quite awesome! tweaked will debloat. as for font size, I think installing GO launcher allows for customization of that.
regarding battery life, not much aside from minimizing number of apps installed and accounts synced. for me, I found that juice defender works best.
There is also options in Accessibility menu...

[ROM][FC09][TW-MTD] Legacy ROM; new LegacyBlackDogROM1.04_MTD.zip [Updated 9/26/2013]

New ROM with integrated BlackDog V6_SuperCharger script; BlackDog script
LegacyBlackDogROM1.04_MTD.zip
mirror server
MD5 Sum: f2de1fee666b90ce9064e51e0525c48f
Change log: thanks to J2k3, SB03 and cerchiara for suggestions and feedback!
removed custom gallery and added stock 3D gallery due to MMS pics not displaying
added Flash Player from FC09 stock- seems to improve web browsing
added stock Swype- seems to play nice even when paid or trial versions from Play co-exist with stock Swype (Face it; when you upgrade to another flagship phone, you'll need to practice sweeping a keyboard sometime; beats tapping on a tiny virtual kb and missing mostly all the time! Start practicing in landscape mode.)
re-themed Mms.apk (no more transparency wallpaper but chat bubbles are reformed)
re-themed contacts and dialer backgrounds- darker bg image courtesy of MWBehr @ xda from contributed work on transparent contacts on Cut & Paste ROM
re-themed the pull-downs again; sharpened corners & now 10% darker (I may go to 94% opacity like the pull-down transparency; let me know)
re-based the main system apps with a more recent apktool in hopes of increasing compatibility with newer 3rd party apps
note: this was to be a final ROM pending findings and suggestions; suggestions and feedback lead to some of the changes. Thanks for the input and encouragement. This still remains a daily ROM for me but may not be much longer since I'm due an upgrade and looking into new phone releases with 4G-LTE. I think Sprint and Samsung missed opportunities with the S4 and Note 3; I'm still looking for a good tri-band LTE flagship phone! But still hoping to get this ROM to a lesser need to update frequently and still supporting as a user.
Optional:
V6 SuperCharger Options: to add a quick widget for PowerShift on the fly:
1) open ScriptManager and navigate to location of script (V6 uses /data/V6_SuperCharger/PowerShift_Scripts... "Calculator-(8,12, 39,46,53,60)" is default but try as many as you like, use the one you like best), press and ensure Su is highlighted and "Save"d (You can mark as many as you like for quick widgets but do not set as boot; change as needed).
2) find open space on preferred home-screen, press/hold empty space (1x1 is the widget size), scroll left and select "Widgets", scroll to SMWidgets (available from google play if missing; should be in flash included /data/app), click "Add one script widget" and select your desired widget previously marked in first step.
Note: scheduled Flush-O-matic acts as a cache drop for freeing unneeded RAM cache left when exiting an app that may be using a lot of RAM every 4 hours. If you wish to adjust this, you'll need to download the script to adjust options; option 30.

LegacyBlackDogROM1.01_MTD.zip for TouchWiz FC09! Flashing instructions below...
changelog:
Updated /system apps (ADW and SuperSU) just updated
LegacyBlackDogROM1.00_MTD.zip
change log:
integrated BlackDog script with PowerShift scripts; set via SMWidgets (app free versions included in flash as tools/removable bloat)
restored Flush-O-Matic scheduled 4 hour cache' drop; now it will not flush until android sleeps so you're activity is not interrupted or slowed
updated ADW Launcher, Titanium Backup, SuperSU, Google Play (Black Market) & Gallery (now customizable, somewhat but it can be updated in Market or uninstalled for another app, if needed)
rolled back kernel due some concerns of FC09 kernel increasing battery drain after a notification (although my problem was mostly media scan bug due to suspect media, I wasn't the only user suspecting the kernel so I rolled it back)
swapped Talk and Google Search box to blacked-out versions; thanks to RUJELUS22 Themes for blacked out Gmail, Black Market, Talk, & Google Search Box. I've not been finding full functionality of blacked-out apps, recently. But RUJELUS22 blacked apps seem to retain better GB compatibility ATM.

Instructions and warnings:
How do I flash this?
Download, verify md5, back-up in CWM to be safe. If you are already on a TW ROM with MTD/yaffs partitioning, you can keep your data and just wipe cache and dalvik and flash (don't forget to backup, first). If you are on any other type of ROM, you should backup and wipe data first. I have heard from one source that ODIN is not required, if coming from CM but I have not tested that, myself. If trying, remember to flash the ROM twice or flash, reboot recovery and flash again. Note: Large TW kernels do not support TWRP; to be safe, do not inject TWRP recovery. (for CM to TW, personally, I'd recommend back-up, ODIN, root and then flash this). If unsure, read; clean install is the recommended method if having problems. If something does not appear to be working, let me know. This is MTD; if you are coming from ODIN or or currently using BML, this flash will auto-convert to MTD. Note: to get back to BML, you would need to ODIN with victory PIT file and repartion option selected.
To be safe: Be aware that is a development ROM. Although I've flashed and tested this in many different ways, some things still need to be tested. If anything should go wrong, you should be familiar and comfortable with the use of ODIN to recover a semi-bricked device: here.
Description and Credits:
Legacy ROM: an honorary gift from previous and current developers on a now outdated device (yeah, but I hope to get a Galaxy S4 LTE-A or Note 3, soon). As well as the implied: use at your own risk...I am not responsible for anything that could go wrong... please read before asking questions...older download links are at bottom of this post.
What is this? updated 8/1/2013
As the description states: This is a new ROM built from kennyglass123's deodexed from stock FC09 to include all modifications from the gingerbread gits still maintained by SenseiSimple and toadlife. Other mods have been added and available in XDA and elsewhere. Briefly, it includes the mods included in TPR (The People's ROM by kennyglass123) with exception of the flying-in transitions. Legacy ROM uses the ICS transitions found in SenseiSimple's git along with all those found there for TouchWiz FC09 ROMs. I've also added Zeppelinrox's V6 SuperCharger script and Chainfire's latest SuperSU (reverted to Superuser by ChainsDD 9/3/2013). It is rooted but you need to be rooted in order to flash. I've also included Center-Clock-Mod and a smooth scrolling mod. Mms.apk has search and suggestive search fixes that were introduced by modding the AndroidManifest.xml for transparency to wallpaper.
Some images and animations borrowed from ROM Toolbox with jrummy16's explicit permission. There are many others that will be recognized and hopefully, all thanked for their contributions. Additionally, I'd like to thank Travmofosho, kennyglass123 and Nash for porting much of the original theme works to gingerbread. I've also used some theme work from Tha_Dynasty2049, Thomasskull666 and Paul Diddy. If you know of someone I missed, even yourself, please help to credit those that gave freely. As a courtesy, thank them if you like their reproduced work and see them check-in on this thread.
Additional Credits: Thanks all and please help me keep this credit list accurate. Thanks TexasEpic4G for the scenic banner!

Source: FC09 Deodexed with lots of [mod]s- Thanks to kennyglass123 for source deodexed FC09, permission to use the EB/TPR kernel, and for encouraging me to release this. Thanks also to SenseiSimple and toadlife for keeping the GB development git updated.

Thanks!): MWBehr, Travmofosho, ÜBER™, Nashdogg, kennyglass123, darkierawr, RandomKing, Ca1ne, flastnoles11, jrummy16, lilajrestnom, gooch1025, SenseiSimple and toadlife. Gosh, what would I know about android without these guys and more, I'm sure there are many more that I've used their work in one way or another, including the credits below.
Features:
Zeppelinrox's V6 SuperCharger script integrated into ROM. You can flash, and perform an extra boot to start service. EarthBound's zipalign included on boot, including initial flash 'n boot. Other V6 options available in Terminal Emulator are sclean, fixfc, vac and flush. Please read his tread. Zeppelinrox links xda updates via tweets.
SuperSU (root)- Read about the SuperSU in XDA, here, and thank Chainfire. Root is now secured by SuperSU.
Sprint Connections Optimizer
Most Bloat removed; see kennyglass123's TPR thread for extra bloat flashable
Samurai custom FC09 kernel
- Voodoo sound
- Voodoo color
- Overclocking (enable higher frequencies in included Control Freak app)
- Undervolting (Stock voltages default; default I/O Scheduler and CPU Governor: vr/Samurai are a good setup for this ROM; alternate could be sio/wheatley)
Logsprovider fix...no texts in log (found in git)
swipe notification mod- thanks Ca1ne
GPS Fix - Thanks Heinkhieu
Hotspot Hack - Thanks Necrosan (found in git)
Modified Power Menu - Thanks to untermensch (found in git)
Scrollable status bar toggles - Thanks SenseiSimple (found in git)
ICS Transitions (found in git)
CRT Off animation (found in git)
CRT-On animation -there are sources for this but I cannot recall the contributor that simplified this mod; help please!
Smooth scroll- thanks AndroidOn (This feature removed in releases, after 7/20/2013)
Volume rocker mod (sound on to vibrate to silent) thanks mkasick (found in git)
Screen stays off when unplugged
No battery full popup (I use a visual "full" icon at the 1% battery because the icon is more accurate than blue light for bump charge users)
Removed audible low battery warning when screen is ON as well as that fake shutdown screech; it's now a silent pop-up at 5%. There are no interruptions of service or impact to performance.
Low Battery audio warning tone still sounds on boot or Screen-Off when battery is less than 5%; powers-down at 0%.
Included visual battery low warnings starting at 14% (battery % changes from white% to Red%) At 4% it starts animating with battery "!" icon.
Charge animation has been simplified; no wasted resources and bulk to animate a charge from current% to 100%; the UOT Decimal animates with charging icon to accomplish a reasonable charge animation. credit or criticism to me on those mods. Other mentionables: UOT Kitchen and LeoMar75 for in-depth GB mod
Center Clock Mod with no notification overlap- thanks to Ticklefish and sdojoin
Modified stock Lockscreen slider and ring- Sorry, I forgot the source of my original png but I modded it.
Some different sounds - thanks to Nash, SenseiSimple and others I'm sure
Blue Gingerbread Keyboard - disable other keyboards to use -thanks GregTard (and Orlzzt for finding it)
Transparent Mms.apk with tinted chat bubbles and fixes for text search and suggested search- by myself and MWBehr
Transparent Contacts- thanks MWBehr
Semi-transparent-curved dialer ported (by samep) from an original work kept alive by Paul Diddy's archive; sorry, I've forgotten the original author's id
Simple In-call dialer theme thanks to Paul Diddy for those buttons, too; backgound by me (samep)
Theme port by me, samep, thanks to the many sources here: Paul Diddy, Travmofosho, Nash, Tha_Dynasty2049, & Thomasskull666. Special thanks to jrummy16 for permission to use images and OG Droid bootanimation from ROM Toolbox; see pull-down animation and hidden GB Easter-egg.
Pull-down-animation with non-transparent background runs once and clears out of view, leaving semi-transparent notification background. All individual dividers removed to allow better view of animation.
TW Launcher (not present in later releases)
Removable apps: Titanium Backup, LBE Privacy, Control Freak, Script Manager and widgets, Voice Serach, and Customizable Gallery.
Intent:
To bring a well-equipped ROM and tool to end-users that is both pleasing to the eye and succeed with minimal flashing and tuning. You may recognize the kernel splash screen; kenny gave permission to use that. (it's the only version of the EB FC09 kernel with notification LED fixed). It's also EarthBound's best kernel for FC09 and needs no special tweaking; defaults are a very good starting point. Voltage Control is included in the flash as well as Titanium Backup, if needed for your paid apps restoration. SuperSU helps to avoid an issue loading wrong su binary from market, if updating to newest superuser but, so far, I've had no issue updating SuperSU and using the suggested su binary it asks the user to upgrade to. The included busy box is the one from SuperCharger Starter Kit and the V6 SuperCharger script is setup to launch at flash but doesn't go continuous service until rebooted once after the initial flash and boot. There is also a programmed 8-hour flush to free up RAM to hopefully reduce lag without inducing lag. You can test and adjust all these scripts to suit yourself but at least you can gain from from not having to set this up, initially. For updates and useful hints; read Zeppelinrox's OP and read some more. The added feature is only the beginning; V6 changes frequently and discussion is both educational and lively. No need to discuss much about V6-SC, here. Start here, if needed. Don't forget to thank him while you're there, if you haven't before. His work is also linked in his signature.
I've also included Black Market and YouTube by B-boy™ among the free apps that may frequently have to be loaded or restored when flashing a new ROM. His blacked-out/inverted and transparent apps are here. Thank him here.
Testing, notes & suggestions:
Testing
As far as I know, Legacy ROM versions are stable. I had asked volunteers to test 4G Wimaxx and hotspot tethering; no 4G here for me. One user of Legacy ROM v1.03 confirms 4G is working... not much complaints but requests were made for changes. I was maintaining more than one version to accommodate some users' requests but some have PM'd farewell wishes as they moved to other forums after phone upgrade so the multiple versions' support has ceased pending further requests which I do consider.
You've tested, now what?
Post your feedback. Request proposed changes. Test and share feedback. Like it? Use it. Wanna change something and share it? Fine but don't forget to credit the sources, including myself (some of my work is in there, too.)
Some V6_SuperCharger notes are here.
Color issues? see this post for voodoo app settings. thanks to Marcusant, lilajrestnom, and elevans for options, testing and searching.
Force Close or black screen with or without shutdown Issues? You need a good Superuser application that updates the su binary correctly on this phone, Superuser by ChainsDD and Superuser by ClockworkMod have been tested. ChainsDD su binary 3.0.3.2 can be found in BlackDogROM1.03 seems best suited to quickly and correctly declare a Force Close and allow you to Force a Close of app and continue without hanging up or rebooting. Sadly, there are third-party apps that can be tested but the developers have been notified of the issues. Android 2.3 is not fully supported by third-party apps but mostly functional. And I found that newer su binaries don't seem to be expecting these issues and SuperSU and some others were not correctly updating the su after install or upgrade. I was manually updating SuperSU and releasing new ROMs until I realized the Force Close issues were not properly declared and hanging the UI for prolonged periods. No disrespect intended to developers; I think we all share the burden for the unanticipated actions that lead to Force Closes so I'm not pointing any fingers. The Superuser apps are probably best suited for rooting and maintaining root newer devices, anyway.
Screenies and quick note: battery used for capacity testing is a 2000 mAh third-party product with GT18 months of use; on average, it provides about an extra hour of display time compared to the 1500 mAh OEM battery which still performs well. Some third-party batteries may actually be smaller in size, requiring extra backing to keep secure contact with terminals; my OEM battery fits tighter than any battery I've purchased. (I use a strand of electrical tape running along bottom, back and top of battery to fill the void.)

samep said:
Legacy ROM...as I interpret the term, legacy, an honorary gift from previous and current developers on a now outdated device (yeah, but I hope to get a Galaxy S4, soon). As well as the implied: use at your own risk...I am not responsible for anything that could go wrong... please read before asking questions...Download link is at bottom of this post.
What is this?
As the description states: This is a new ROM built from kennyglass123's deodexed from stock FC09 to include all modifications from the gingerbread gits still maintained by SenseiSimple and toadlife. Other mods have been added and available in XDA and elsewhere. Briefly, it includes the mods included in TPR (The People's ROM by kennyglass123) with exception of the flying-in transitions. Legacy ROM uses the ICS transitions found in SenseiSimple's git along with all those found there for TouchWiz FC09 ROMs. I've also added Zeppelinrox's V6 SuperCharger script and Chainfire's latest SuperSU. It is rooted but you need to be rooted in order to flash. I've also included Center-Clock-Mod and a smooth scrolling mod. Mms.apk has search and suggestive search fixes that were introduced by modding the AndroidManifest.xml for transparency to wallpaper.
Some images and animations borrowed from ROM Toolbox with jrummy16's explicit permission. There are many others that will be recognized and hopefully, all thanked for their contributions. Additionally, I'd like to thank Travmofosho, kennyglass123 and Nash for porting much of the original theme works to gingerbread. I've also used some theme work from Tha_Dynasty2049, Thomasskull666 and Paul Diddy. If you know of someone I missed, even yourself, please help to credit those that gave freely. As a courtesy, thank them if you like their reproduced work and see them check-in on this thread.
After the source and credits get updated, I hope to move this thread to the development thread. Suggested source code or theme will be will be considered to make this a fun collaborative effort, if it doesn't lose support due to its predictable short-life-expectancy.
How do I flash this?
Download, verify md5, back-up in CWM to be safe. If you are already on a TW ROM with MTD/yaffs partitioning, you can keep your data and just wipe cache and dalvik and flash (don't forget to backup, first). If you are on any other type of ROM, you should backup and wipe data first. I have heard from one source that ODIN is not required, if coming from CM but I have not tested that, myself (for CM to TW, personally, I'd recommend back-up, ODIN, root and then flash this). If unsure, read; clean install is the recommended method if having problems. If something does not appear to be working, let me know. This is MTD; if you are coming from ODIN or or currently using BML, this flash will auto-convert to MTD. Note: to get back to BML, you would need to ODIN with victory PIT file and repartion option selected.
To be safe: Be aware that is a development ROM. Although I've flashed and tested this in many different ways, some things still need to be tested. If anything should go wrong, you should be familiar and comfortable with the use of ODIN to recover a semi-bricked device: here.
Why post this in the general forum?
I have yet to compile an accurate list of included features and credits. My notes on file at home were lost due to a local issue and I'm gathering that data again to post in the development thread at a later time. Meanwhile, this is ready for testing. I need volunteers to test 4G Wimaxx and hotspot tethering; no 4G here for me.
You've tested, now what?
Post your feedback. Request proposed changes. Offer to help with screenshots and decorative forum splashes, if inclined to share something useful to others considering a test run of their own. Like it? Use it. Wanna change something and share it? Fine but don't forget to credit the sources, including myself (some of my work is in there, too.)
Suggestions:
Other than just going back to your favorite launcher, the Lightning Launcher can be easily setup to suit your own use. I recommend adding to each home-screen before removing all that is there to preserve that screen's programmed stops. Otherwise, the setup becomes a little more complicated. The tutorials are linked on home-screen. The initial setup is very good if you only need three home-screens. You can add many more and even scroll up, down, left, right for multiple home-screens if you like. The dated thread on LL suggests that you have to buy a widget to use your app widgets; no longer the case, you can setup app widgets. Live wallpaper is supported but AFAIK, you have to set a shortcut in gestures to do that: I used "Two Fingers Down" swipe gesture and selected "wallpaper" function from the drop-down list to get LWP supported. I also programmed the Home key to get notifications from pull-down; interestingly, now the Back key finds my home screen like the former Home key when viewing the home-screens.
Read about the SuperSU in XDA, here, and thank Chainfire. Root is now secured by SuperSU.

Nice job samep. Good to see you still continuing on with the work we once started. Sorry that I haven't been around much to help. Been trying to learn new things from the pros and family and personal life has taken much of my time. Luckily there are other talented minds out there in effsi and dropple and bthorne79 and saramon to help keep us Rollin on the good ol OG epic. This is the best group of guys I've ever worked with. Gonna test this as soon as I get to my PC. Thanks bro.

Working on it but it's not really in my skill set. Anyone willing to make some; please do.
If you saw Cut & Paste Extra Crispy version, the differences would be most noted in theme, animated pull-down, boot animation, charge animation and lock screen. The large UOT Decimal 0-100% battery remains but I centered the clock and moved the low battery warning from wherever it was to 5%. The bonus on the warning is that if your screen is on, no audible warning; just a visual pop-up. I was able to remove that fake shutdown that would interrupt services like hang-up a phone call in-progress. No more startling warning tones while your holding the phone but if the screen is off or you boot with battery 5% or less, you will get the audible warning of low battery.
So to characterize low battery warnings while display remains on:
LT 15% battery % indicator turns from white to red (as in Cut & Paste Extra-Crispy)
5% you get a pop-up warning to plug-in.
LT 5% an animation starts to cycle between battery % (red) to !battery symbol.
0%-phone turns off
Use responsibly; you have been warned; lol! I did this for my own liking; what do you think? Keep it or go back to 15% or 20% screeeeech-fake-shutdown? Personally, that annoyed me. The best way to get 100% out of our battery is to wipe the battery stats when flashing new ROM or less than 50% on a reboot. If you needed until it shut down; you'd have it without it interrupting service. No risk to battery life AFAIK.
Actually, the differences are mostly in animation and function that screen shots may miss. IDK how in-depth screenshots can go; a video review may reveal more about this ROM than screenshots(?) I didn't give it wallpaper but I am open to suggestions.

Sorry, I've been slacking on the screenies. I just added 3 to the OP.
The wallpaper is not default (yet); let me know if this one is wanted or not. I'm taking requests for wallpaper but I do want to keep it dark and natural looking. This one is time lapsed.
Working on an update due to some market apps updating and minor appearance changes.
Possible revision upcoming and V6_SuperCharger Notes
I'm now holding off on an update I had uploaded & posted in OP; sorry to say that it looks like one of the build.prop may be breaking bluetooth. If you installed v1.02, test Bluetooth ( I couldn't get mine to turn on until I backed the build.prop out and went back to to a revised one). I'll see if I can add some battery savers in and leave out whatever is impacting Bluetooth enable). Removing the link until I sort this out. I would delete the post but the notes about V6_SuperCharger may still be of some use.
upcoming change log
update market apps
minor theme change (most of them in extended power menu and alternate AOSP lockscreen)
possibly add more battery saving tweaks to build.prop to test; from here.
Now may be a good time to review (for those not familiar) the script commands found in Zeppelinrox's thread.
To Test:
Open a Terminal Emulator session and type "cat /proc/*/cmdline | grep Super" (only what is inside the quotes)
If you get only "Super", the service is not running.
If running, the return also returns /system/etc/init.d/99SuperCharger & /data/99SuperCharger.sh
Things to look for:
browse to sdcard and see if a file something like "!SuperCharger.html" exists. If so, the text inside has a link to a help file from Zeppelinrox to help you. As a troubleshooting help, the file copies to your sdcard when running the script. You can also delete this file after running the script successfully to know that if it appears again, there may be an issue running a service a boot. Just remember, it may have appeared again because you ran the script but did not delete it.
You can also check your logs found at /data (use a root browser to navigate and check) for the various services ran at boot; they may give clues to problems encountered. You can also read the script for your setup. Note: I used thses while troubleshooting the integration of V6_SuperCharger into the ROM. I don't anticipate problems unless you've made changes.
How to make changes:
You'll need to download the latest Zeppelinrox script. see the OP for link; you also need this for updates to V6_SuperCharger services. Outside of flashing this ROM, your support for V6_SuperCharger service should come from searching and reading his thread.
Sorry, but to uninstall V6-SuperCharger, you'll need to download the script.
If you have no previous settings but want to make changes, run the script and select "Driver Options" to make those changes.
Already have V6_SuperCharger and don't want my setup?
I have not tested this theory but I think if you run the script and charge from sdcard (default) on your initial boot, you will overwrite all my settings. Also, I think as long as the script is not run, your SDcard settings remain unchanged. No guarantees; I have not tested this.
Terminal Emulator Options:
type "su" then V6_SuperCharger command as follows, below
"fixalign"- Two operations in one- fix permissions and zipalign
"vac"- cleans the Database
"sclean"- superclean and restart (really not necessary as service is setup to continually run)
"flush"- delete some cache to make more RAM available
Note: want to do all the above? Just reboot; done!
Note: There is a delay in starting the SuperCharger Service after a boot. Due to startup programs and other services trying to start, you cannot expect initial speediness after a boot. I've tried to keep the phone on a flush schedule of 8 hours. It's also untested but there could be times that an timely flush could cause lag. Please let me know if this becomes an issue and any steps you may have tried or are familiar with to avoid this possibility. It's possible that a ScriptManager Widget for "vac" may work better on demand. Thanks!
Running this now--extremely awesome ROM! It is fast, smooth, and stable for me. I'll test 4g tomorrow when I go out (dont have it at home).
Request: Can you give an option to disable the android drawing when the notification bar is pulled down? It's cool, but pretty distracting when it does it every time.
Thanks for your hard work
Re: [ROM][FC09][TW-MTD] Legacy ROMv1.01
Well, I can remove it altogether and post an alternate download.
Do you like the aosp lock screen better than TouchWiz? I was gonna post a link for one, later. If so, I'll make them in one flash. No pulldown animation with aosp lock screen included.

Flash Instructions:
Backup data or nandroid
Wipe data, cache and dalvik
Flash ROM
Restore Data or advanced restore data from nandroid
Reboot once more
Note: This version has been removed; discovered why it can only be clean installed. New version to be released, soon.
change log:
improved V6_Supercharger integration
improved some .png's for AOSP lock-screen and extended power-menu
added a few more battery saver tweaks to build.prop- thanks omair2005
