Update: At the request of flipz, this will not be released until his public release. Sorry.
Hello everyone, I'm happy to announce that I've created a 2.1 ROM!
This ROM is based on Fresh 2.0, only I didn't like the fresh stuff, so I removed that .
Thanks to deca, flipz, toast, gbphil, and tjaero. Without you, I wouldn't know where this ROM would be.
Practically EVERYTHING works in this 2.1 ROM, including:
Camera (camera recording doesn't work)
Bluetooth
MMS
and practically everything else, but most importantly:
it has the... .29 KERNEL
I also made a lot of my own modifications to it:
Mods:
Added stock Android keyboard, htc keyboard still there though. (Please test, not sure if it works)
Added ES file manager
Added Wired tether
Flash player 10 (NOT LITE, 10!) installed
Added Sprint Navigation (didn't put in Sprint TV; it doesn't work on 2.1)
Added launcher2.apk (needs testing however, not sure if/how it will work)
Removed bootsound
General optimization
Known bugs/missing features:
Google prompts you to sign in every boot (think of it as a 'security feature' )
No camera recording for a odd reason
No visual voicemail
Trackball light lights up at random for some reason

At the request of flipz, I will wait until his public release of his ROM before this is released.
He released his, so I think it's okay to release mine. This is a test release, not fully done. I think I'm going to wait until the offical HTC release to release the final version.
Once again, this is just a TEST RELEASE:
Also, please restart as soon as it boots, or you'll get a bunch of FC's

The one thing I politely asked all donators was that they waited until I released my rom to the public before working off of it.
Man... we just lost Gbhil, now people are gonna try and get Flipz and Co mad...

You are MORE than welcome to work off of it. People love variations. All I ask is that you wait a couple days until I release to the public. I'm not trying to stifle creativity. Android is open and people are free to work off of it. I can't/won't stop you. But I do request that you wait.
yeah screw this. ur an ass.
another thing would be that u say u stripped out fliz's work but the fact is he themed and ported the whole thing. every colored icon in it is his work. so what did u take out to make it urs?!
Glad your holding off on the release.
well thanks for the build up. I was really looking forward to this. I also do not like the fresh stuff so i will not donate to have to customize flipz rom. I thought you developers were about open source and helping this community. Not trying to make money off your work

I know, and I really appreciate flipz doing all this. I never said I completely make all this, all I said I did is took out some stuff I didn't like. I'm very sorry you feel this way. I took out some fresh stuff I didn't like, such as the boot sound. My intentions were to make a ROM that people like me, who don't want the fresh boot sound and stuff, and just a easy, complete and fast 2.1 ROM.

oh u removed a boot sound and think its a new build then i guess. sorry lets all just pull an apk or zip from a build and call it our own build.

Thanks for being so polite, I'm sorry for this, won't happen again.
I have to say, I kind of agree with toast here. There are too many ROM's popping up based off of what I would call "breakthrough" ROM's... ie. a ROM that has added a new feature or has a major speed increase, something along those lines. I think what would help this situation of people releasing ROM's based on what they like would be to make a thread that shows how to customize your own ROM (removing/adding files, etc.), and then people wouldn't need to download ROM's that are based off other peoples work but have a few things removed or added. Look at the Pancake 0.1 thread... SO MANY PEOPLE requested versions of the ROM with things added or removed, and there ended up being atleast 5 versions of it. Seriously people, either learn how to work with Android or don't complain.
haha yeah, we need some sort of criteria before people can just start slappin "[ROM]" all willy nilly on their thread titles
Love EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!
Almost 1 month of waiting searching & then still left waiting for a stable & fully featured rom I am wondering whats the use of having 10 developers making 10 different roms none is bug free, some or the other features remain buggy or not working in them.
Cant the developers work together to develop 1 super stable, bug free & fully featured rom for our i9003?
Take a poll & lets give some direction to rom development, the purpose of this post is to have some kind of feedback as to what the i9003 users base wants the most, in no way developers are bounded by this community demand but this poll result should give the developers some sense of direction regarding rom development.
I have a long list of features, some are innovative ideas how a phone should be & needs a developer to implement the ideas.
Choose the following one to vote
I prefer different developers develop different roms even if it remain buggy or some features are not working.
or
I want super featured, super stable rom hence developer should work together to root out bugs then we can have various version of this rom.
Disclaimer:
In no way I am putting down the hard work done by all the developers who have done good job with themes, tweaks, mods, custom roms & other customization for i9003 giving precious time for the community development.
stable & fully featured rom

Hello,what features are not working??
hey man, i think the developers are giving their best at what they are doing. i know a collective effort gets above all but sounds a bit harsh when u put it so bluntly. and coming to stability and features if u expect a rom which can compete with MIUI u have to wait.. the developers here are good and most of the roms they gave us have only minor issues like force closes and all. i too am waiting for a ROM as good as MIUI supported by cyanogen mod. have some patience and trust them..

1. 2 way phone Call recording with auto gain in .amr & .mp3 format
2. USB OTG
3. Dialer in landscape mode (krazy did a mod but later did not include it in rom)
4. Retrying busy number automatically should give a audio tone when the call finally connects.
5. Missed call sound notification with ability to to switch off.
6. dialer should have option opening as default keypad/logs/favorites screen (user selectable)
7 dialer Voice mail facility so the phone can record the message on the sd card itself.
Others can add more to the feature list, as the list grows more Devs can look in to the requirements.
Since I work in large team environment I am very much used to get the work done by different people for a large project each specializing in particular field. I live my life with a phone hence cant test multiple roms, if something goes wrong while flashing or features not working I would loose a lot of time & my work will suffer.
variety is always good. Devs do not have obligations to make roms. let's give them freedom to do whatever they want with the roms they create.
Nevertheless, a good poll question would be which is the best froyo and gb rom.
I guess sgsl is talking about the GPS and push notifications bug.
It has to do with the base ROM i.e. XXKPH. Otherwise all are putting in a splendid effort.
Seeing the positive side we get 10 different flavours of the same ROM.
And the ROM's are getting better by the day.
I can understand where you're coming from as I have been researching on the ROMs for a while now so that I can flash them (I'm still on DDKF1 though ).
All in All Kudos to all dev's out here.
I think Devs should work together to make super stable rom

People are trying to get the mentioned features working but it'll take some time i guess. If all work on one thing then we won't get anything to play with until that thing is developed/solved.

Same thing applies to me and almost all guys out here.
But the ROM's that are offered are more or less pretty stable now in the sense all basic features work 100%.
@ sgsl
if you want dialertab landscape mod for gb then soon i will again port it
Also i feel dev's can work together to solve issues (USB OTG, Call recording etc) and not build a complete ROM altogether.
@SGSL can you add the option of "dev's should work together for solving issues"
@ybyb
gps is working on all roms!
Developers should be allowed to do what they want. If they want to make their own ROM, let them. If they want to work together, let them. They're not your staff.
I know it's just an idea - so please don't take this as an attack.
@sakindia
Have been reading the feedbacks and it isn't working for all.
Maybe then it's my interpretation.

I humbly disagree, devs are "presuming" that they are doing best but still not able to solve teh problems or either conclude that if certain features can be done or not.
sounds a bit harsh when u put it so bluntly.

Extremely sorry if this sound so hard but in no way I am disrespecting the excellent work done by many developers, I put the disclaimer in red in 1st post for the very reason.

No body wants to curtail their freedom indeed they are free to agree to work together or alone, its their wish, but if more i9003 users vote that they want a super stable rom which is fully customized & devs should work in a team to achieve that then its upto the developers to look into this community requirement. Even then they are free to ignore this requirement, its their wish.

How about having a super stable rom with 10 different flavors (all stable & fully featured) since different people use phone differently for different uses?
As for GB or froyo I leave it to the developers to have the agreement on it, GB as of now is not officially launched in stable form for i9003.

Thanks krazy , yes I would love to have it integrated in roms, I have many more ideas for rom developers to add useful features so the smartphone can be used even by disabled people too. One such feature would be audio sound of numbers when they press the dialer button.
Many blind people will bless you for this feature.
Buddy i agree with ur point. So when amit will release CM7 then automatically all developers will get attract to it & will try to solve problems related to it.
But for now let the dev do their work. Already we have cranium as best rom with almost everything is working in it so other developer can can take help of it.
The features u are demanding needs to implemented with great hard work. Some features are related to kernal & we all know that we have very few kernal developers.
Our progress is slow but definitely in right direction. Just keep some patience. I think CM7 will complete everyone's expectation.
You know: 9 women can't give birth to a child for a month. IE if all our developers will work together I don't think they will create the ROM better. Because we (they) have some tricks to improve some features of ROM. When somebody found this he posts this know how to the forum and all other can apply this trick to their ROM.
But they don't create ROM from scratch. They use somebody's ROM or stock ROM and apply some tricks/applications. Also they apply some themes inside.
And this is good that we have different ROMs with different tricks/themes/applications. Some users like one set, other users like other set. and this is good. If we have very easy way to apply tricks/themes and so on without "recompiling" framework or applications. It will be good to take 1 ROM with ability to apply different tricks. but we can't this.
For example if you remember when rex4u and then others became to create themes for XXKB3, they don't know about extended power menu. and we can easy change theme just replacing framework files. But the was discovered a lot of tricks and now we should to choose not only between themes (looks) but also animations,memory,power menu and so on (feel). we can't just change some file and receive features we need without loosing features we don't need. Also theme developers can't make a lot of modifications for different sets of features.
That's why I think that several ROMs are better than 1. Also remember: if you want to make ROM you don't need to program on C, but for apply OTG or other features that you wrote in the post, you should know C...
All dev's re doing gret job..
they re doing everything of their own free will posts like these will dis herten them..
they re nt obliged to do nything..lso nything they mke they cn keep fr themselves instead of sharing it to us...
we dont give them nything they do it fr free from their own tym..
let dev's do whtever they wnt nd let us support them and when they want to work together they can always do tht using this forum...no one needs to tell them wht they shld do...
So we all know that sometimes the stock standard camera app aren't the best , and that sometimes other stock cameras from other phones are better , or take better photos.
And since we have some very skilled developers on this and other forums, they have been able to port these stock app to work on multiple phones from different brands.
My goal is to have a list of all these apps . This thread will try to keep track of such apps, by being uploaded to a website , or link to the actual forum thread.
But I need the communities help, if you know or would like me link your app, one which works across multiple brands, please pm me or link it in this thread.
so here goes
List : Backup before trying any of these, you have been warned
Razr m camera port Developer: unknown
works on: 4.0
Lg Optimus G ported (may not work, make sure you make backup)
Developers: Defcomg, feav
works: ics & jb different versions

Ps: If i have linked your port and have not mentioned you as the developer, or I cant find the orignal developer , please let me know ,no insult ever intended

Thank you list:

Reserved for possible future need:
I also hope this thread helps developers find other developers who are good at modding stock camera apps, and which they can then help each other , and in turn make more ports of a better camera apps : The Dream
great idea
Thanks ,yeah lets just hope it stays active long enough to get a sticky, this would actually make it so much easier to try out camera ports that people may not ever know about

Hello everyone, after a great success on building roms for bacon device. I've decided to share my work with other devices. So now I come to bullhead! After positive feedback on the rom today I'll publish here the rom.
Kernel and Device tree are untouched so everything should be working smoothly. You can use a custom kernel in case you like, but i'll only give support to stock kernel as I do not yet own an device. So CM bugs are basically also our bugs, and from what I know there is none. Still I'm open to suggestions.
Download
GAPPS
Features:
Updated SQL to 3.11.0.0
Optimized SQL code for faster Read/Write
CM Super User (for now is the most stable one)
Kernel with F2FS support
Improved Code of frameworks
Optimized Build with custom toolchain on ROM and Kernel
Optimizations for our chip
Improved sound with speex resampler
Improved bionic with many optimized libraries (faster rom)
Improved Art with upstream patches
Optimized native frameworks for our device
LZMA updated to the latest
Proguard 5.2.1
Google Webview
F2FS ready for data and cache
Immersive mode
Expanded Notifications
CAF Task Manager
Snapdragon Camera
Network Monitor
More coming soon
I'm a very praticle user, and my aim will be to get a very fluid stable system, at same time with speed and battery, keeping most stock possible with the optimizations which will improve for real our experience.
Thanks

You can also check on Settings --> About where is all the changes .
Q: What is LZ4?
A: Read here about the project: https://github.com/Cyan4973/lz4
Q: Was latest build used LZ4?
A: This is still under testing and I'm working on it. It'll be on the test folder.

A: Limited time. Sorry about it.
Q: Why do you many times ask for donations?
A: Well... This work is free, and as you know if you like it and on your own free will you think I deserve and currently wish to help me out as I am currently going to become unemployed and as also I study for my Masters in Finance , I believe is only fair. While you use, I'm testing and investing my time on it. Should be rewarded because of that right? Is only fair.
Q: Do you receive alot of donations?
A: Since last year until today I've received around 300 euro. But I've invested 1000 hours on these android builds. That gives a ratio of 30 cents an hour.
Q: Why do you still invest on android since it doesn't provide you any feasible income? I would have already quited!
A: Basically this forum makes me relax.
Q: Will you leave cm builds when exodus is released ?
A: I didn't plan on giving my cm builds, but if exodus prove to be superior why should i have double work right? Only time and users will tell.

A: I can provide many answers! Just ask!
Q: Can I PM you?
A: Only when is urgent!
Q: How to report bugs?
A: Our bugs are CM bugs. Report on JIRA: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org
Q: Are you CyanogenMod maitainer?
A: No, just an user which wants to have better builds possible. But would be nice to see CM adding me to the contributions list.
Q: Why Slim gaaps? Open Gaaps are so much cool!
A: Open Gaaps has provided many unstable issues which makes the phone unusable until a clean format. Slim gaaps have shown to be better on that.
Q: Why some buttons of UKM don't work?
A: Need time to improve that..
Q: I want an update app to auto update roms. To lazy to check the thread!
A: I understand, for now is not feasible to do it as I need time to analyse and understand best solution as I update tool-chains regularly and also is not my priority. Remember time is limited for me.
After positivive feedback i've opened this thread. New build in 2 hours Please wait and download.
#vızzz

Hey dude, ran some of your CM builds on OPO.. always smooth... good to see you here! Downloading now.
Very excited for this! Thank you!
Btw only kernel I didn't add yet f2fs. Will add next week with time.
This is the Rom I'm waiting for
Hopefully you will keep updating it since most of the roms stop updating after 18 months.
Apart from f2fs fstab, which you may already know about, everything seems to be working fine. Great job as always. Big thanks!
Will test some more.

Since the chip type is the same I'll merge some optimizations to the kernel from bacon. I should have at least one more year of my time to this stuff
On the 02.02 build i had issues with camera, but I think it was something wrong with my setup. On the latest build everything is OK. I'm eager to see what base you'll choose to work with in the future. Since you're using ubertc as a toolchain you can certainly try Ubermallow which I think it's the most up to date Aosp build.
Please give feedback Thanks.

Hello my Name is Leo and i am a youtuber. I was producing videos about ROM previews, mostly for the HTC HD2. I would like to produce all the testing videos about new roms as soon as xiaomi releases the kernel source from the A1 for us and let us develop own roms. If you like that idea just press thanks. If i get a lot, i know you would like to support me doing the videos. (And i know its annoying, not to know how the new rom looks like, thats why videos)
