About GodMode Script:
Typing "godmode" into adb shell or a terminal emulator will give access to and allow you to edit many parts of the system using any file manager.
For example, if you wish to delete system apps you can simply run "godmode", open Astro File Manager, long press the app, and delete it (don't forget to back it up first!). Also, if you wish to edit (using Astro) the build.prop, sysctl.conf, or install-recovery.sh files "godmode" will allow you to do so. In short, "godmode" can turn Astro File Manager into Root Explorer.

Note To Users:
The only minor imperfections you will find in this ROM are an occasional fc of com.htc.bgp (will stop after initial setup is complete) and the next button in the setup wizard (that you only see once after you wipe data & cache and install the rom) has an 8 over it. As mentioned, both of these quirks will only be seen for a short amount of time. I will be working on resolving them soon.
Note To Devs:
The only HTC Sense apps I was unable to eliminate (without bugs) are the HTC LockScreen (the vanilla lockscreen causes issues), HTC SetupWizard (needed for mounting sdcard), and the HTC People apps (needed for contacts to sync). If you know of any method or would like to help me eliminate these please let me know. I am new to HTC devices and would love to know what additional apps can be removed without harm also.
I'll be flashing Bugless in a few. Not because I need anything from it, but because I want to see how Rom Manager handles things. I bet a lot of people will be doing that too.
Looking forward to seeing what you can do!
Hey Pete, I'm super excited to see you on the Evo scene. I'm definitely going to be flashing this but I had a couple questions.
- Does this include the updated radio? (assuming not)
- Is this still having the Market issues?
- Any other known issues we should watch for?
Would you all rather have the sprint apps in a seperate zip to flash or have a removal tool to get rid of them easily? Hmm..maybe I'll throw something in the ROM Manager.
A popular option I've seen in other roms is just moving them all out of /system/app and into /data/app so we can uninstall them at our discretion.
Edit: Except the friendstream app cuz it can have sync issues if moved out of /system/app

Hey, thanks!
-Does not include the updated radio but I will add it in the ROM Manager for users to flash easily.
-Not sure about the market issues because my friend just got the phone and he has no paid apps. I will be looking into it now, it's an easy fix.
-Not that I know of but please let me know

I'm on Verizon so I have no clue about Sprint Apps lol.
As far as flashing it can be found in "ROM Manager" in the market (easiest option) or put it on your sdcard and install via clockworkmod recovery that way.
How does this ROM manager work, I know the basis of what it does, but im new to the phone hacking game. I just want to know all the ins and out before I apply a ROM to my phone, I don't want to mess anything up, and want to know how to fix it if something happens.
Thanks in advanced.

ROM Manager makes it as easy as 1,2,3. Simply choose a ROM and it automatically downloads and prompts you to install.

this roots and whatnot for me? So this is as simple as droid mod or wahtever i used to use on the Droid. In fact I should change over to BB on the Droid, DM is ancient. Is there any issue with going from DM to Rom Manager/Clockwork Mod or do i need to go back to stock first?

No you must have root (Toast) to install Rom Manager first.
Re: [ROM] Bugless Beast V0.2
I would really like to try this out sometime..I hope you are able to get rid of the sprint bloat soon. It makes a difference on my phone from what I have noticed

ok cool, done that already. I click reboot into recovery after the download and it just sits there. No reboot, no nothing. Is it telling me I need to do it or that it's attempting to itself?
I wouldn't mind having the apps in there, but with the option to uninstall the ones I do not want to use. Any chance for apps2sd?

I would like to see the option to easily uninstall them so the individual user can decide what they would like to keep and remove.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't USB debugging have to be enabled for SU permissions to work correctly?
If so, Pete maybe you should set this as selected by default to avoid headaches.

Cyanogen's Pre-Req's Remain for this ROM
After reading the Barbones wiki - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones, I decided that I a better froyo experince could be had if I removed what I didn't/never use.
This is my first ROM modification that I'm posting (I've modded roms before but kept em to myself due to adding paid apps into the base build). Most of the questions that are to be had here, have already been answered in other threads (use the search button!)
This is not meant to be used by n00bs!
This is meant for advanced androiders that know what they're doing and how android works. So questions about how to do this and that, why is this and that, will not be answered (as I said before, already been answered in other threads, so stop being lazy and look for it).
Any other questions are fine though.
The following has been removed from the 8/14/2010 nightly build:
(This is all to my preferences; Fully Tested on my MT3G. Should work on G1 but I don't own one, so a G1 tester confirmation would be helpful)
If options you need were removed, so what, download another ROM and GAPPS package.
---TO INSTALL---
Do you really need to know how to do this? This is just a mod.
RECOMMENDATIONS -
System Recommendations:
CM Parts:
- Dithering Off
- JIT Off
- No CompCache

Spare Parts:
-Animations: Fast or Off
Stock Settings:
-Privacy settings - Back up my data - Off
Market - Downloads - Notifications: Off

Start building from source
EDIT: Force closes when opening Settings. =/
How many times have you tried opening the settings?
More than 10 times. All force closes.

Also echoing the Force closing on G1's when flashed.
Ok, try running a fix permissions. If not, send me a logcat. My intuitions is telling me that it could be the launcher. Will check when I get home.

Still trying to figure out why this is "Advanced Users Only".
Flash ROM, use it.
Not so advanced, but good work I guess.
I think when he says that he means if you have to ask questions on how to set it up or how to fix your bootloop (when you prolly just forgot to wipe) don't install. He doesn't want to have to walk every person who doesn't understand how to set up swap or how to remove or add app through the processes. And i totally agree with him. Many rom pages get cluttered (over 200 pages) with a bunch of useless crap like how much swap people or using when they should be posting logcats or reporting problems. Much stuff like setups vary on what and how the user uses the phone for. So the chance of one person set up will prolly only work about 5% of the time. See even this post is useless but you asked so i answered. Again this is my opinion on why he said that.

New version out.
I would like to say, good work on this. I gave it a try yesterday since I had been running CM5 for a while (after an attempt to smoothly run CM6) on my G1. It was good until apps2sd was needed via Firerat's scripts. The phone was super sluggish and I was basically back to the same experience with my first try at CM6. This was after a full wipe and fresh SD card. I think I'll hold off on 2.2 until I change devices, but again, good work
Very smooth on my tmobile g1
I believe all Android users have been to the Android Market and downloaded >10 applications onto your phone. However, what are your top 10 favorite applications? Probably you can come out with a list of your favorite top 10 free, paid, non-rooted and rooted applications?

Exactly, our "favorites" change over time. Plus there are always new applications flooding in the Android Market! Nonetheless, thanks for sharing
YouVersion Bible (anyone wanting to read the Bible, this is a very clean and quick app with a vast amount of versions in various different languages. Updated often. User database of contributions.)
Apps Organizer (allows me to use less screens for better performance without loosing accessibility)
Audible (gotta love a good audio novel when you don't really have the time to sit down and read!)
Catch Notes (used to be 3banana notes. I really like this note app, but I haven't done a lot of searching. It works very well and is pretty simple.)
Documents to Go Pro (this is essential for me while in school!!! Now that it syncs with google docs its sooo valuable)
Daily Strip (Sunday Comics reader. I use it mainly for Calvin & Hobbs...but there are a lot more on here!)
Dictionary.com (essential!)
LastPass (great password vault. Creates passwords for you. Very good.)
xScope Browser v. 6 (ftw!!)
WinAmp and/or PowerAmp (they're both great, the second one I like better, but it's been acting screwy (maybe it's my fault..idk) lately so I've been going back and forth)
Here are my 10 [that I use frequently]:
1.) Titanium [needs root] [PERFECT for restoring your apps/settings when you switch roms]
2.) Handcent [best texting app to date]
3.) MIUI Browser [aka Charming Browser] [Super Smexy browser ftw]
4.) Barnacle WiFi Tether [Works like a charm when a rom doesn't have a native wifi-sharing app]
5.) Swype ['nuff said]
6.) Tweetdeck [BEST Friendstream/Twitter/Facebook Timeline replacement]
7.) Dropbox [Easy file transfers between computer and phone
8.) Soundhound∞ [Shazam can go suck it]
9.) Linda File Manager [simplistic organization]
10.) XDA [no explanation needed]

Really?
I'm happy enough with the default browser.
I tried the MIUI Browser after it was mentioned in an earlier post. I didn't like that the tabs at the top took up that much room.
I used other browsers that were also tab based, but found the tabs in them to also take up too much space.
I like how the default browser just opens a new window. That's fine for me.
1 phonemypc - best remote control better than logmein and cheaper.
2 evernote
3 dropbox
4 glympse
5 C:Geo (geocaching)
6 GPS Status (gps toolbox application)
7 Scanner Radio (police scanner with alerts)
8 Listen
9 Vlingo - texting/emailing by voice and having received/texts emails read to you is easy with this app. totally no look / no distraction
10 printershare - print to wifi printers or any printer that is connected to a computer you configure a pc client on.
1,2,3,10 The browser (either opera or the included browser) and Gmail make it possible for me to not be tied to a computer when i am home.
Hello I wanted to modify my CM 7.2 with delating some apk's from system to make my rom very light. I delated a lot of processes by myself but i'm not sure with some of them. My idea was making a lot of free Ram without losing stable system and comfortable work. I show you a list of apk's which stay still on my system:
-ADW Launcher
-Camera 2.3.7
-File manager (must stay on my phone)
-Google backup Transport 2.3
-Google One Time Init 2.3.3
-Google Partner Setup 2.3.3
-Google Services Framework 2.3.4
-application Installer 1.1
-package installer 2.3.7
-Android keyboard 2.3.7
-Contacts 2.3.7 (must stay)
-Market Feedback Agent 2.3.3
-download Manager 2.3.7
-Package Access Helper 2.3.7
-settings memory
-installer certification 2.3.7
-contacts list 2.3.7
-sharing bluetooth 2.3.7
-user Dictionary
-CyanogenMod Settings
-VPN services 2.3.7
That's it, I omitted the part of the process because it was obvious to me that it must be .
take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204340
is not really up to date, but it will get you there
you won't really gain ram, because all apks you listed won't run in the background, well except adw launcher but you could try zeam launcher is more resource friendly.
I wouldn't recommend deleting any of those. It will cause alot of issues.
Than you for reply, this link was very useful I will try to delate VPN Service, i think i don't need it, it's last apk which i delate from my system. Do you think it's a good idea?
