THE OFFICIAL 4.1 UPDATE IS LIVE. GET IT HERE OR USE OTA UPDATER TO UPDATE!
The pictures may not be showing for a while, but the link will be working.
Well, here we are. One of the (in my opinion at least) most prestigious custom ROMs for the SK4G changing hands yet again. Now, before people come out and call me a ROM developer, I am FAR from any sort of developer(I can't code anything substantial. Only small things in bash, PHP, Ruby, and possibly Python). I'll gladly call myself a ROM maintainer, however. As my bio in my profile says, I'm a do-it-yourselfer. If I can't get it done myself without a minimal amount of headache/frustration, then is when I call on the aid of someone else.
Credits, of course, go to PDT(Platypus Dev Team for the new people) for the initial release of Glorious Overdose, Dr Honk for the Bali kernel, nxd for the latest Bali kernel build which removes the keylogger, TheLastSidekick for GOv3 and for allowing me to continue his continuation of the Glorious Overdose legacy, anyone who helped with GOv1 - GOv3, the devs of the apps I've included(CM based or stock), and lastly you, the end-user, who keeps this ROM alive with the feedback and ideas you give.
Using this ROM means you are responsible if you brick your device without checking mounts, so don't PM me whining that I owe you a new SK4G, because one, you voluntarily used it, and two, I simply do not have that kind of money to buy everyone who claims this ruined their only phone.
First time flashers: READ THIS NEXT SECTION CAREFULLY. PLEASE DON'T PM OR REPLY HERE SAYING LINDA KEEPS SAYING "Convert data partition, system not available...Convert system partition, system not available.". The only fix for this is to use ODIN or Heimdall One-Click to go back to stock and reflash using Orange CWM and making SURE your mounts look exactly like the section that speaks of Orange CWM.
Experienced Flashers: You already know the drill, but read ahead to double check.
To quote the thread from GOv3.3 on the mounts.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF ANY BUGS, so I CAN ATTEMPT TO FIX THEM!
CHECK YOUR MOUNTS, I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!
Thanks to ayoteddy!
- Put zip file in your /sdcard
- Reboot into cwm recovery
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
(Optional but recommended to prevent any minor issues)-Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM

*Now before you Flash, Only if you are on the orange CWM, (Not RED voodoo CWM from Bali) if on red CWM ignore the mounts/unmount part*
MAKE SURE YOUR MOUNTS LOOK LIKE THIS: (Go to mounts and storage from CWM recovery)
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM - this is the ONLY mount you pay mind to, not Sdcard or anything else
- Now its safe to Flash the .zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(AGAIN IGNORE UNLESS IF YOU ARE ON A RED VOODOO RECOVERY) after you flash, go back to mounts and storage and make sure your mounts look like this
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
(Optional but recommended)-Wipe Cache then Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM before Rebooting.
(To First Time installers, System Needs to be set to Unmount, though it would really be mounted. If you do Not do this you will have a softbrick and will have to ODIN to stock and start all over ....) Once you have Flashed a Custom ROM or Bali 2.2 Kernel you dont have to worry about mounts

For those of you who use irssi on device(meaning you use the binary cross-compiled for ARM use), here's an easy fix if it isn't working for you.
Credit goes to happy from Rizon's IRC network(screenshot above is from his device, a Droid 4, iirc. NOT from a new GO look, sorry.)
If I don't reply to any questions here in a timely fashion, come find me on IRC in #GloriousOverdose on irc.rizon.net
In terminal, do uname -a. New hostname init.d script also serves as a type of sysinfo script for the SK4G(minus RAM and resolution and all that. Just OS and Kernel as of now.) and is useful when using IRSSI(do /exec -o uname -a in IRSSI to show the world that you are using Glorious Overdose. ^-^)
For those who want a little AOSP goodness, here is the 2.2 AOSP Launcher2.apk. Just set in /system/app and make the apks permissions the same as all the rest there. This is thanks to xanium4332.
Awesome! Excited about this
So you released like 3 or 4 roms kind of around the same time.. any comment about which one is the fastest or most stable? Are you still working on/updating the other ones like tigerfusion, tigerblood, etc? I'm on GOV3.3 right now and I'm happy with it except for the reboot problem while using maps/navigation. I'm not really sure which one to try but I like the way I have everything setup so I don't want to flash anything that cant be used as a daily driver yet. Thats why I'm excited about this one because it seems to be closest to what I'm using now.
As for the changes - is it any faster or "better" than v3.3?
Many of them seem like things we can do ourselves: I also ditched lightning launcher for launcherpro or adw, and got rid of or added some of the apps I liked. Personally I don't think amazon appstore should be on the rom, whoever wants it can just downloaded it right? Also I prefer quickpic to the 3d gallery as its much faster and doesn't crash. Is this 3d gallery a different one? (most of these things were just personal preference, i don't mind changing them myself after flashing the rom)
So the main things I think are the scripts/lagfix and a few theme tweaks.. Not really sure about PMR and the OTA stuff.. can you explain that?
but overall thanks for keeping this phone alive and giving it some hope and activity!
Well, I didn't really do much for TigerFusion, TigerBlood, or DangerZone apart from provide the lagfix script and bounce ideas off of the creator of the roms, RicAndroid. So, this, essentially is my first custom ROM release.
The 3D Gallery is, indeed, probably the crashy one. But it's because the ICS Gallery I wanted to include wouldn't work and QuickPic, imo, strayed too far from the original Glorious Overdose, which is the look/feel I'm trying to maintain while minimizing lag and other unpleasantries. But, yes, it is encouraged to mod it after flashing to further personalize the experience, but then I can't provide as clear of support when apps are added/removed from what I've release. So it's up to the user, in the end.
As for the inclusion of Amazon AppStore, that's based on it being, imo, the second most used AppStore for Android after Google Play. I mean, I don't own any apps from Google Play but I own some on Amazon. I can't use some of them without Amazon AppStore installed and signed in. If I could import purchases from Amazon to Google Play, I wouldn't include it(Yes, it's a personal preference). Like I own SetCPU. The version in the Amazon AppStore is 2.3.0.7(iirc) and the version in Google Play is 3.0.7. Dunno why the first hasn't been updated yet, but meh.
The OTA Updater will be like any normal OTA Update, but aimed specifically for custom roms(this one most likely being the first to have it implimented, hopefully it will be the first to use it too). Meaning whenever I push an update to the OTA Updater Center Pro, it'll push a notification to you which will allow your to Download and Update or Just download and just update manually via CWM(which is what I'll recommend because I'm unsure of how the app handles CWM recovery itself atm)
PMR is a collection of tweaks/scripts that were compiled first into an AROMA package installer and then ported to an apk format. The audio engines, sadly are incompatible with this phone until someone ports the kernel of Android 4.x or higher for the SK4G. Everything else works as far as I know.
And hold on to your hat. I'm in the process of creating the update.zip and testing it myself before I upload to MediaFire and submitting it to OTA Update Center Pro's database. I'll also be keeping an updated link here for people who are uneasy about the OTA feature and for those who ODIN'd and didn't keep a copy of the one they started on to flash and then update to the newest version. So far, all that I've done is in the changelog. And no, there won't be a LITE/LEAN version. I don't feel the need to create two version of the same ROM. Besides, this is essentially GOv3.3(LEAN) with the above changes.
Let it begin.... a new age of Sidekick cookers. THIS LOOKS HOT, MAN
Very sexy
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Just checked the OTA app. It downloads fine. And I think it works because I grabbed the direct link from my MediaFire upload by right clicking on the download button on the page and used that URL. Dunno if it works day after day. And I don't know how well it handles the flashing itself because I feel a manual boot into recovery and manual flashing is the safest bet. Until I or another ROM maintainer can confirm that it does the flash flawlessly, stick to a CWM restore, please.
Because the OTA Update Center also displays the version, I removed the v4.0 from the build number and only the OTA Update Center version will change. The Build Number shows Glorious Overdose now, versus the old way in the screenshots.
Either way, enjoy GOv4.0. I know I am, and I'm the one who rolled this build of Glorious Overdose out. Now I look at my phone with pride, knowing I'm using my own creation and out there, someone else is enjoying it like I am. Such a satisfying feeling.
If you have a dedicated SK4G that you wish to test the latest build of Glorious Overdose with, PM me and I will give you instructions on how to turn your GOv4.x build into a dev/tester build that will get updates long before the public one does. I have 2 testers so far. Myself and RicAndroid. I think a total of either 5 or 10 testers should be sufficient to get things rolling. For those of you who still have GOv2 or GOv3 and haven't grabbed this yet and wish to enjoy OTA goodness, wait a day or two and I should have an update.zip to give you that pleasure of updating OTA.
That's all I have for now.
Can you explain in more detail what you mean about paid apps included?

Well, some apps, like the Gallery app(back when I could find it in the Play Store) and the Jelly Bean Keyboard cost money, but I included them because the free versions either didn't provide the functionality that I thought Glorious Overdose should have or just refused to work completely and I don't have a bank account or a credit card to purchase apps/credit from Google Play so I couldn't include my copies even if I had them.
I tried to keep the paid apps I included to a minimum. The only paid apps I can spot myself are the two I mentioned above. All the other ones are the free version because they work and provide the right amount of functionality for the ROM.
You should remove them. Warez are not allowed on XDA.
Fair enough. I'll revert back to QuickPic and JellyBean Keyboard free. If the mods will give me time to do so before they take action, that is. I can't do that as of now because tired and late, but thanks for the heads up(honestly didn't know[don't really read rules, just try to use common sense. Guess getting frustrated that the Free JB KB didn't wanna work and I couldn't find the free version of the 3D Gallery on the Play Store got the best of me]). Those and a new battery will be in the first OTA update available(And I'll even update the OP's link to 4.0.1 for anti-warez purposes).
EDIT: Had some moron texting me about some court stuff when I hadn't gotten anything in the mail about court appearances. So, I've been up for a bit and am getting an OTA update ready/OP update link sans the new battery. It'll be live in about an hour or so.

Rule of thumb is: No downloads, not fit for the development board.
That being said... 24 hours are enough to re-pack a ROM so it doesn't contain warez anymore?
Yes? Start the clocks...
Oh sorry I meant to direct my post towards both you and RicAndroid. So RicAndroid feel free to respond to the parts which were more relevant to you.
And I'm kinda confused, is 4.0.1 live and available to download? Its there on the changelog but I don't see a link anywhere..
and thanks for switching back to quickpic!
Edit: I just saw it was on Fixing/updating.. I'll wait
QuickPic is my app of choice....the Gallery is fine but it gets buggy sometimes.
This rom is sweet, BTW. The warez thing is not allowed, yeah....but there are plenty of fully functional free apps out there. Like ES File Explorer (which can be given root permissions), Touchpal keyboard (which is the best alternative to SwiftKey).
I'm currently porting the Bi-Winning Redux ICS framework...the correct way this time using GIMP with those 9.png files. It is looking beautiful so far. I will also jump on board the OTA thing this weekend.
Good stuff, dude. Keep up the fine work!
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app
Well, as of now, the update is unofficial(the build.prop is the same but changed the OTA version because it's unofficial until I figure out how to get Quick Pic and Terminal emulator to work as system apps.). I can't get QuickPic to work unless I install as a user app and then move to the system apps and that only works AFTER installing it. But, yeah, gonna go update the OP with a link to the unoffical OTA Update. Those who have the warez version, just go to the OTA Updater app, check updates, hit download, and hit home and do whatever you want, but check the file on the SDCard at /sdcard/OTA-Updater/download/glorious_overdose_.zip or something similar and make sure it reaches 177MiB.
Edit: Forgot to mention, this "update", although shown as 4.0.1 isn't the final update to 4.0.1...once I figure out how to get QuickPic and Terminal Emulator to work as a System app and switch to ES File Explorer from ASTRO(Because ES allows root access and ASTRO doesn't) then the real 4.0.1 will be out. Until then, ignore the faux update notice if you already updated. That or you can change your build.prop and change it back when it is completely fixed.
Also @B.Jay I've been using 7zip to pull/add/change files is in a re-zipped GOv3.3. So, it only took a matter of minutes but I was almost passing out when I replied to how_weird about removing the warez stuff. I don't know enough about the OS to create an update.zip from scratch.
Got D4 Update.zip creator now. So, yeah. Works.
Thanks for posting. When my wife leaves her phone alone and is sleeping I will flash this. Could be a day or two, she hates me messing with her phone.

Lol. I know how it is. Just because 2 instances with my friends devices...he doesn't wanna root or jailbreak ever. I've finally convinced him to let me update his LePanII tablet to ICS and possibly root it.
At any rate, wait to grab it until later tonight or early tomorrow. Testing a possible fix for QuickPic and Terminal Emulator not wanting to work in the unofficial OTA update.
freakin awesome rom!
anxiously awaiting the link for 4.0.1 to rematerialize !
Well, the link is back up. Oh, and just an FYI. If there are changes in the changelog here but no OTA update showing...most likely I'm getting the update ready and am showing what I have done to the update.
yay! Loving it
Flashed this a few hours ago, finished restoring my apps and getting things set up the way i want them. Works great so far.. we'll see how it goes within the next few days
Thanks!
No problem. Hopefully I don't get fed up trying to find a way to update the su binary along with ROM releases and just say that users should update it on their own. Getting close, though.
Related
All Builds are up. No more changes will occur. Massive credits to Kifno on getting the kernel cooked in and also for adding back in the mail apk.
For those of you who don't know, LiquidSense is a ROM series that focuses on speed and stability with minimal bloat, except instead of the Cyanogen approach, this is for Sense lovers. Any apk I have removed can be re-added very easily .
Credits:
NFinite - for damn near everything, inspiration + an excellent base ROM, as usual. He gets full credit for the rooting/installation of busybox/integration of Apps2SD, and the best of luck to him as he gets
ASimmons - For the wonderful optimization scripts. Seriously, this man is a genius.
Decad3ance - Amazing kernel, and relentless drive to give us the best our Heroes can get
TpyoKnig - For the extremely fast FTP so that my Dropbox Public folder doesn't get hammered like an Irishman at Oktoberfest, also for some indispensable help building up the ROM as well
Kifno - MAJOR help with integrating the kernel into the ROMs, as well as adding back the mail apk which I stupidly removed. He understands what he's doing, and we should be interested to see what he comes up with next.
What it is:
~ NFinite's Latest ROM Release (NFX-Sprint.STOCK.2.32.651.2.ODEX.A2SD)
~ Decad3ance's #589 Kernel capped at 691. You can easily flash over uncapped if you'd like.
~ 100% png-optimized and zipaligned + odexed for massive performance and fast startup
~ Fully rooted + busybox (credit for both goes to NFinite)
~ Tons of Sprint Bloat removed (can be added back)
~ Original ROM size was 106 MB, my ROM is only 88 MB
What's been removed:
~ The usual Sprint Stuff (Nav/VVM/Sprint Zone/Nascar/NFL/TV)
~ Some HTC Stuff I felt was not needed at all (a few widgets, Teeter, Flickr, Twitter, Stocks, Learn More)
~ More specific list coming later (if you can't wait, take a look at the Removed APKs zip at the bottom of this post)
Special Notes:
~ Google Maps has been left in this ROM. I could have easily taken it out and removed 5 MB, but I felt too many people depend on it to have it removed
~ Facebook has been removed. I feel the app is garbage, but if you want it, it's just a download away in the Market.
~ Market is the latest one, it includes auto-update.
~ Ringtones have been left inside the ROM since the last time I removed them, people's phone process was crashing.
~ Wired Tether is no longer pre-cooked into the ROM, but it is stored on your SD card. Install with the provided ES File Manager if you wish to use it.
Screenshots:
Nothing is visually changed about the ROM. Screenshots could be put up, but if you've seen a stock ROM before, you've seen this one.
Instructions:
Ready? Here we go! Veteran users probably won't need to read all of the steps.
Step 1: Power off your phone.
Step 2: Press and hold volume down while powering on the phone to get to Recovery..
Step 3: Please please please nandroid!
Step 4: Mount USB Storage (while in recovery)
Step 5: Download and put the ROM of your choice on your memory card:
~ Odex (Faster, Not easily themeable)
LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final Odex Deca 691Mhz + Sprint VVM
LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final Odex Deca 691Mhz with no VVM
~ Deodex (Slightly slower, extremely easy to theme)
LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final Deodex Deca 691Mhz + Sprint VVM
LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final Deodex Deca 691Mhz with no VVM
IF your phone can handle 768, simply flash over Deca's Stable #589 kernel over your flash.
Step 6: Wipe/Factory Reset (I strongly suggest this)
Step 7: Flash the ROM you downloaded.
Step 8 (optional): Without leaving the recovery menu, proceed to flash the #589 768MHz kernel as well, if your phone can handle it.
Step 9: Reboot, setup, and enjoy.
Removed APKs/Widgets:
A fair amount of stuff has been removed from this ROM. You can find all the removed APKs here, just push them back into /system/app: Removed System APKs
Also, with massive thanks to Kifno, the Sprint VVM builds are fully updated as well. He is the reason this ROM is finished, keep a close eye on his dev threads. He's bound to do something big for us.
Reserved just in case.
ill give it a go and see if i can find anything.
Well on the setup if you try and add other email it fc the setup wizard (com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard).
M on it will report

Liquid: I think you should remove as much as possible, and let folks add back what they want. Removing facebook was a good step. Leaving Google Maps... maybe but it gets updated often and will have to be downloaded from the Market anyway. Just a personal opinion, as I am capable enough to remove what I want before I flash anyway.
Good luck with the kernel, if you figure out how to get decada3nce's kernel easily imported let me know? That is something I haven't looked into yet as I always flashed afterwards.
Also, have you seen this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7732407&postcount=223
A few more things you could trim. Probably a good idea to read some of that thread besides what I just directly linked to.
Thanks for your hard 'up-till-4am' work.
By the way, could you share the optimization scripts you use? Sounds like you use different ones that I managed to cherry pick off the depths of the interwebs.
Have a good day!
for some reason the download keeps stopping..
This post and ROM mirror removed as Liquid is working on an update.
File has been deleted from the my mirror.
I got it thanks. but i keep getting FC's once in a while. nothin too major. everything's smooth and everything works. good job on the beta LS!

Since this is a beta, you should go into detail about your FC's if they are %100 repeatable to help Liquid out incase they missed something, etc.
1) Did you flash over a previous install, or do a full wipe and fresh install?
2) What was the FC error message? Was it while an app was running or when you started an app?
3) What extra apps have you installed? Tweaks? Task Killers? Overclocking beyond 691? etc
No biggie if not, just trying to make this rom the best it can be!
I would flash this but I'm a senseless person lol have fun

1. I did a full wipe and fresh install.

3. I installed Smartkeyboard and Handcent SMS, but i got the FC's before that.

Cool, hopefully Liquid will be able to look into your issue and the other poster's issue with non-gmail email.
I haven't had a chance to flash this yet since I'm at work 12hrs a day till the 1st. Can't risk not having a phone for even a few minutes. Because, you know, as soon as I reboot to flash something the boss will call, I'd miss it, then I'd have to explain why I wasn't able to answer the call etc... I love my job
Have had this up and running for 24 hrs; runs as smooth and fast as the previous stable build, no FC's of any kind.
I'm using Deca's #23 CFS uncapped as I've found it the best of what he's done so far; SetCPU set to 729/245 smartass gov.
Yes, HTC mail was definitely not cooked into this rom, nor was Maps. No biggie on either, I dl'd Maps from the market, and am using the mobile Yahoo Mail site through Opera Mini.
Liquid! Everything is running fine. Flashed your ROM and the Kernel. Restored a bunch of apps, everything is smooth! I'll just need to get onto my computer and install some of the removed apps, as I'm not able to installs some apps and widgets through ES File Mgr.
With the new ROM, I forgot to set my alarm and was late!
Porkrinds said:
It just worked for me. Try this filebeam.com mirror. I'll keep it around for a day or two or if Liquid updates his rom before then. I don't want old versions floating around any place other than the OP's main post.

The HTC Mail app is in the removed apps zip file that Liquid posted on the OP. You'll probably need to use Android Commander to install, I tried with the ES File Mgr and would not work. I'll be doing that tonight.

My mirror is just the ROM. The kernel you can get from decad3nces thread, or from the OP. It's small file size.
Sorry for the confusion.

After I have tried a lot of ROMs for the HTC Desire, and each one of them was perfect in another way, there was one kind of ROM I couldn't find: a ROM which is as small as possible, with Sense, and Gingerbread, and as clean as possible.
First of all: I am not an experienced developer, such as LeeDroid, or Coolexe (by the way, thanks a lot guys, loved your ROMs, and used each one of them without any issues, so kudos for your hard work!).
I'm just a 15-year old boy, who wanted to create a ROM which is as small as possible, but keeping Sense. If you have things to say like 'Loser, why would I flash this ROM, there are dozens of other ROMs', don't say anything at all.
However, if you have tips, questions, or think you can help me with this ROM, don't hesitate, and feel free to post!
About this ROM:
-Based on Gingerbread RUU from HTC for HTC Desire (Bravo)
-Bananacakes awesome new kernel (0.4), build by Sibere (0.4a), running on 1GHz, OC'able to 1.2.
-Su + Superuser + Busybox included
-Optional A2SD
-Removed a lot of stuff, resulting this ROM to be less than 120MB in size!
-Kept Sense, but some apps are removed (such as Stocks, Footprints, and Facebook, which you can download from the market anyway)
-Works on Stock HBOOT, and it should also work on Data++ or Bravo Sense (please post your experience with these 2 HBOOTs)
So, if you are looking for a lightweight version of Sense and Gingerbread, this is the ROM you're looking for. It may contain bugs, and I can not be held responsible for any damage. If you tell me about the bugs, I could try to fix them, but don't think I'm an expert with Android development, but I'll see what I can do.
To do:
-TrackballWake
-Perhaps create a special update.zip for some popular apps (filemanager, terminal, DSPManager)
-Fix the bootanimation (just a black screen at the moment, trying to find out how to fix it), the ROM boots just fine though
Removed:
-Apps you can install from the market (Facebook, Gmail, Flash, Flickr)
-Apps which have better alternatives (HTC Twitter)
-Apps which bugs a lot of users, even when they're not being used (HTC Stocks)
-Apps I simply don't like or use (Friendstream, Footprints)
-Apps of which I can't even come up with a reason why they would be installed by default (Polaris Office, if I'm right about the name)
-Live wallpapers which are pretty useless in my opinion (Smoke Wallpaper, Music Visualizations)
-HTC Sense Live Wallpaper, and the normal wallpaper is replaced
-Almost all ringtone/notification sounds, except for one in each category (the default ones)
Without further ado, here are the downloads:
Click here for the Non-A2SD build (version 1.5)
HBOOTs with 5MB cache won't work! Stock HBOOT or Bravo Sense HBOOTs will work fine, since they have a bigger cache (thanks Ronijs19!) For cMTD users: /system is 163MB in this build.
Click here for the A2SD build (version 1.5)
After you have installed the A2SD build, download a terminal emulator from the market and execute the following commands:
su
a2sd cachesd
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your apps and the Dalvik Cache will be stored on EXT from now on.
Changelog:
1.5
-Updated kernel to 0.5 by Bananacakes
-Restored original framework (= original skin)
-Restored fonts (Ubuntu fonts took more space...)
1.4
New build of Bananacakes kernel, by Sibere, running on 1GHz, OC'able to 1,2.
Bootanimation is either ANDROID now, or still a black screen, bit confused about that due to a lot of builds..
New font, Ubuntu.
Also removed alarm and notifications tones except the default ones.
1.3
-Removed LiveWallpapers (every LWP except HTC Sense)
-Removed Mode10Wallpapers (the HTC Sense LWP)
-Replaced dock (used the one from the Slate theme for Sense 2.1)
-Replaced the default Sense wallpaper for a custom one
-ROMs will be uploaded onto our own server from now on, which means: no waiting, and direct links (thanks DonUber!)
1.2
-Removed FriendStream (Twitter and Facebook were removed anyway, so Friendstream was unusable)
-Removed all ringtones except for 1 (saved about 2MB)
-Swapped the ucsh00d_c.ttf font for DroidSans.ttf, saving about 3.5MB
-Swapped the gcsh00d-hkscs.ttf font for DroidSans.ttf, saving about 1MB
-Removed some images in /media/resources, saved about 500KB, since the images are never used in Android anyway, AFAIK
-Modified updater-script with some ui_prints to inform about the progress
-Bananacakes new kernel (0.4) implemented
-Two versions from now on: with A2SD, and without A2SD. In the version without A2SD, you can insert any A2SD script you would like (both versions have init.d support). Recommended HBOOTs are Stock or Data++ or Bravo Sense. I have only tested Stock though, so if you use another HBOOT, please post your results.
1.1
-Init.d Script Support
-A2SD (Darktremor Script) installed by default, should be working

Thanks to:
-DonUber, a good friend IRL, who always gives me tips and ideas for improving the ROM, thanks a lot mate!
-Koush, for his Anykernel Updater!
-Bananacakes, for his awesome kernel!
-Ronijs19, for tips and testing different HBOOTs.
-You, and every other user who uses this ROM!
Enjoy, and don't hesitate to ask questions or report bugs!
If you like my ROM, and you don't have a DropBox account yet, consider creating one by using my referral link, giving both of us an additional 250MB: Click here!
This is the theme that is being used in Flux 1.3 and higher. If you download Flux 1.2, you won't have this skin!
Thx dude, gonna try it.
Which base did you use? Stock Sense GB Rom?
(what? I'm the first one? Yupiiiii)
Yes, this ROM is based on the RUU, released by HTC on HTCdev.com. It is an official Gingerbread, which was a bit slimmed down by HTC, and I removed even more bloatware.
EDIT: I'm trying another way to get A2SD working, give me half an hour
EDIT2: A2SD working, get 1.1 now from the first post! Wipe recommended.

Nice, i have removed friend stream widget (hate it).
If more people want to see other widgets/apps removed, I could make a list, and also remove that apps if there are enough people who would like to remove it. Aside from that, I'll also make a script soon which allows you to remove even more apps.
Thanks for your response!
Hello.
Always nice to see both new developers in here, and continued ROM development for the Desire.
May I ask, are there any benefits to this ROM for someone like me who hasn't S-Off'd and just has the stock partition?

If you don't have S-OFF, this ROM is perfect for you, if you want your phone to be as clean as possible, and need space for apps. This ROM uses A2SD by default, and in combination with a 512MB/1024MB EXT-partition, you don't have to worry anymore about the space for apps (a Desire without A2SD has only 137MB on NAND for apps).
Aside from that, this ROM is smaller than an original one. The GingerBread RUU by HTC was already slimmed down, and was 150MB. I removed even more bloatware, or unnecessary apps (such as HTC Stocks, which keeps running and bugs a lot of users), resulting in a ROM which is only 120MB. Even CyanogenMod is 90MB, so this ROM is really lightweight, since it has only approx. 30MB difference with an AOSP ROM.
In other words: no tweaks and modifications, just a ROM meant to be as stable and fast as possible, and without the bunch of apps most of the users won't use anyway, or they have alternative apps.

The skin is the same as a normal Sense ROM for the Desire (so it's just as the stock ROM). The performance is really good, I haven't noticed any lag or anything like that yet, and it is running pretty stable until now.
I'll post tomorrow evening about the battery consumption, as the most recent build I made was about 2 hours ago, so I couldn't really test it yet.
I will make a skin though, and I hope to finish it in about a week.
Ok thanks....
So after boot and A2SD+ initiates, how much memory would I have free?
After you have installed the ROM, and have an EXT-partition, all your apps which you install will be placed on the EXT-partition. This means the available space is the same as the size of the EXT-partition.
My Desire said I had 80MB free after a flash, because the Dalvik Cache is still on the NAND of the phone. I also moved that to the EXT by installing a Terminal Emulator, and executing the commands:
su
a2sd cachesd
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After which your phone will reboot. No matter how much apps you install now, your phone will always say you have 137MB available, because everything is being stored on the EXT-partition on your SD-card.
To use A2SD:
Boot in recovery, and partition your SD-card with an EXT-partition (512MB or 1024MB should be enough). Keep in mind partitioning removes all your data and formats your SD-card. Then copy the ROM ZIP to the root of the SD by using the USB Storage Function in recovery, and install it by using recovery. Then reboot, and A2SD will be enabled and your phone will boot in less than 5 minutes (only the first time, after the first boot it will startup much faster). During boot you'll get a black screen, it is completely normal. To use the EXT-partition for Dalvik Cache also, use the 2 commands I mentioned earlier in this post, and you should be ready

I appreciate the efforts, but I am actually very experienced in that sense. I know perfectly well the A2SD commands and how it works All I wanted to know was the 137mb figure
PS: It isn't correct to say "No matter how much apps you install now, your phone will always say you have 137MB available". The memory will still go down even with A2SD+ installed and davlik cache to sd. It just doesn't go down as much.
Hi Chaos,
Why not just use a2sd script from Oxygen rom? I'm using it on all roms including CM7, MIUI. Leaving dalvik cache on nand with cm7r2 hboot. Much smaller then dt version.
Is your rom deodexed or odexed?
Some proposals:
-add new kernel from bananacakes (modified original GB Sense kernel, sources also available in post).
-Please add trackpad2wake also.
And kind request, what is removed or what is left inside?
Thanks!

You're right, it does go down, but since your apps, the dalvik cache and the cache are being stored on the EXT-partition, the NAND is almost untouched by apps I think. Not sure though, I don't know a lot about the A2SD scripts.

Trackpad2Wake is a function I also used a lot myself, so I will implement it soon
The new kernel by Bananacakes: if I see positive results by other users, and people like it, I will build it in.
And the ROM is deodexed
About the Oxygen A2SD script: I'll see what I can do, and maybe implement a feature to choose the desired script for A2SD.
Thanks a lot for your interest guys, I really appreciate it!
your rom is a perfect! dsp manger?
I'll see how much space it takes, and I'll either make a flashable ZIP to install it automatically, or if there are lots of people interested in it, I'll implement it in the ROM itself

I have some work to do for school, which should be finished in about 15 minutes, and then I'll update the OP and add screenshots of the current interface.
In about 1 week I'll release an update with a really nice skin (in my opinion), and I think that will make the ROM a bit more unique

Hi,
I have been in contact with Bertans through his LEANdroid thread and through private message and we have been working on a bit of a mod for LEANdroid. Basically people want OC/UC and the rest of the goodness from other roms.
It is a mod of LEANdroid 11.10.2 and has a few extra bits over and above that rom. Now has a kernel custom compiled by me from aorth's kernel source.
Includes:
LEANdroidMOD_6
-2.2.2 Thailand rom base, newer and has the mystical .2 instead of .1!
-NOMA kernel from before
-Custom Ubuntu and Jura fonts because they look better than the ugly android ones
-Not compatible with previous 2.2.1 releases (up to LDM 5)
-This is for testing, not sure if it is compelling enough as an upgrade over LDM5 as I am going to include fonts in LDM 5 too.
-Still has old market, but it will auto update, may update it in a future release.
-Has XDA anti malware patch set up in installer.
LEANdroidMOD_5
-Custom kernel based of NOMA source
-Very custom smartass cpu profile setup, seems fast and battery efficient
-24/12/12, now has Ubuntu and Jura fonts and XDA anti malware patch in installer
-Otherwise similar to before
Previous
-Android 2.2.1+ LEANdroid 11.10.2+
-OC/UC 30mhz to 691mhz. Defaults to 30mhz and 600mhz- Fusion Kernel.
-Smartass and interactive governers. Default is ondemand.
-164MB free space.
-Some custom sounds.
-Fusion kernel 122mhz and 600mhz by default.
-Busybox
-NOfrills cpu control installed by default.
-Tweaked memory management
Everything that worked on LEANdroid should still work up to LDM 5 but it has a more spicy kernel and a few more tweaks. Please backup first as I cant be responsible if it doesn't work or you lose stuff. As these builds are just LEANdroid with a different kernel and a tweak or two, you should be able to get away with just flashing it over your existing LEANdroid install and just wipe cache and dalvic cache.

Looks Good!
Great job - I'm excited - will try tomorrow. What keyboard and launcher is this running?
I will try it (I am excited about it).
Still dun understand why everyone say about abd driver in install procedure when all is done on phone and phone sdcard.
Is running standard android keyboard and launcher pro just like LEANdroid.
Think the adb part is just to get clockwork mod on there. You can also use rom manager if you want, although that seemed to be playing up last time I installed it. if you play a bit more you can also use fastboot, but I have not tried that yet. Im still running CWM 3 installed ages ago using rom manager.
Any idea how to get extended "Phone options" when i press power button.
Like reboot, etc not just the 3: Silent, Airplane, Power Off ??
Thx.
It is something to do with custom frameworks. Have not explored that much as yet. Trying to get the kernel good and fast for a start and then can look at custom looks for later.
Hangs at Android logo
I had just finished flashing LeanDroid when I noticed your (what I like to call) "LeanDroid on Steroids" (on Steroids due to being overclocked). I had been thinking if I were to right a ROM, this would be it...so...I was jazzed. I spent all day trying things over and over and can't get it installed. It just hangs at the "Android" screen. I had to install something so went back to regular LeanDroid and installed it again with no problems. I did everything you suggested including the wipe and the new CWM to no avail. Did anybody else get it installed?
Oh, ok... interesting. will have to do a wipe and flash and see what is going on at some stage. Have been developing it as I go on my phone, so possibly it works as I have been flashing kernels and such over existing builds.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Does CWM give any errors with installing?
Im guessing you are reasonable experienced with flashing, but how long did you leave it for on the android screen?
is this the android animation screen or the boot splash?
Does the MD5 hash match?
Thanks for helping test this, hopefully can get some more info and testing done to work out what is going on here.
heh, just flashed it from fresh and no dice, boot loop. trying to suss it now.
Going to upload a more basic build which is just leandroid+ kernel. Just tested on fresh install and it boots fine. Link will be updated in the first post.
Paul
Ok, take 2... try the new mod which is in the original post. It is straight LEANdroid+fusion kernel.
CWM gives no errors. Not heavy enough to know the meaning of "MD5 hash match" but also not fresh out of the box; I gave it at least 5 minutes on the "Android" screen (don't know if that's called the animation or boot splash); regular LeanDroid takes almost exactly 2 minutes so I thought 5 should be long enough. Will try the new one now. If doesn't work it will take me a little while to get back to you about it because I'll have to reinstall a working ROM so I can connect and reply. Here goes.
PS: I'm not doing this for fun; I just wanted a fast & lean ROM because I found myself demanding a lot of my little IDEOS and she was getting intolerably slow...am I'm really exhausted from trying to come up to speed on all this over the last few weeks...so...I want to be finished with this now...so...when you do any future updates (in gratitude for my help ) if it's even possible, could you please make sure it catches this LEANdroidMOD_2 so I don't have to do anything else to have your final version? I'd really appreciate it. Here goes. I'll let you know what happens.
OK. It loaded. Took 2 minutes just like plain LeanDroid. I went straight to the app drawer to play with NoFrills but it's not there. I realize you probably "lightened" this one as a troubleshooting tool to get her working. I just installed NoFrills and it does offer the 691MHz of the custom kernel. Sorry for asking you to educate me but:
1. Is it very advantageous to have NoFrills (or any desired apps) built in to the ROM instead of installed separately and if so, why?
2. Should I go 691, 122, ondemand, & deadline or what?
3. Should wait before I start heavily customizing my homescreens with postits, etc. because this prelim version won't be updated?
4. Is there a way to update to a more final version without losing my homepage customizations?
Thanks for the (I say best) ROM and any educating you give.
Hey Paulynator, thanks for your patience. Leandroidmod_2 was a very quick build to get things moving as I had to build something to get my phone working after the first rom didn't boot in testing! Will upload another build with busybox by default and a couple of small mods today. Problem came from data/app, so ditched that and put apps into /system/app.
Questions:
1)Not really, I just like it, others may prefer setcpu or something else instead.
2)You go with what you feel happy and doesnt crash your phone, try 652 and 60 first, then go higher and lower if it is working fine. Just leave apply on boot unchecked in nofrills until everything is working fine. Ondemand and deadline will be fine.
3)Updates should be able to be installed without a wipe.
4)Just install zip in CWM over your install, sorry, I cant promise anything though.
Thanks
Paul
Ok, take 3. everything from 2+busybox and some custom bits. Tested on my phone and it boots fine with a total wipe. Hopefully wont need to do a total wipe, but have not tested flashing over an existing install.
For question #1, I didn't mean NoFrills as opposed to SetCPU or something else; I'm asking if it's very advantageous to have desired apps built in to the ROM instead of installed separately and if so, why?
Paul,
Report on LEANdroidMOD_3 (a.k.a. LeanDroidOnSteroids, c'mon, it rhymes!) (or even "cleaner": SteroidLeanDroid. If I say so myself, awesome title for an awesome ROM...to me.)
Installed over version #2 w/o wipe seems to be ok...to the extent that I started the process of recluttering (restoring) my Ideos as though "she's a keeper", i.e. no more wiping; the records stay intact from now on.
Paul

Sorry to hit you with 3 since your last but since we have a "hard"/permanent Home button right below the screen, is the redundant one at the bottom of the app drawer removable from a menu or would I have to mod the rom to remove it?

Doesnt matter one way or the other, I just liked it built in. Only possible advantage is that some apps in /system/app wont use space in /data/app, but this is lost the moment you update them as updates seem to install into /data/app. So my Leandroid with nofrills in /system/app still gives 164mb free space in data partition until things get updated.
Good work, thanks for the update that it can be installed over a previous install.
Home button is part of launcher pro. on the home screen, hit menu>preferences>appearance settings>uncheck home button on app drawer.

Installed over version #2 w/o wipe seems to be ok...to the extent that I started the process of recluttering (restoring) my Ideos as though "she's a keeper", i.e. no more wiping; the records stay intact from now on.

Sorry to hit you with 3 since your last but since we have a "hard"/permanent Home button right below the screen, is the redundant one at the bottom of the app drawer removable from a menu or would I have to mod the rom to remove it?

Just found a possible glitch. Don't know if it's the ROM so tried the obvious things to no avail. The camera app (any camera app; I tested the problem by downloading and trying others) won't access the gallery. In the stock app, the little preview window (that tapping opens the picture in the main window) won't open the picture. It gives an error message saying "app initialize failed. please download the app from the market". The app isn't in the market so I d/l'd 2 other camera apps and they both did the same. Using Root Explorer to try to open a picture also wouldn't work. Could you please try to access the gallery on a phone you've installed your ROM on and let me know if it works? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Works fine on mine. Try go to the market and update Quickpic. It does not like being in /system/app so if you update it, it should work. It was one of the reasons I tried to put it in a data/app from the start, but that caused bigger problems like the rom not booting.
I could also put the stock gallery back in alongside quickpic if needed but it does not have multitouch.
I have been asked by the developer to start a Kindle Fire thread as we have just worked together on porting his theme to our great device. I have built the latest port with his help so I am able to answer most questions. As BroBot updates his I will port the build to the Kindle.

If your kindle for any reason goes into a bootloop just flash your ROM again without wipeing anything and it will go back to how you had it
BroBot175 works hard to develop these themes so please offer a donation to help support his development costs.
Hi I built it for CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RCO-Blaze-KANG Rom which I found to be the best working rom for the kindle fire. Flash the rom then the theme in Clockwork I have included a link to the rom below.
Keith
If you're coming from a STOCK ROM then use this version to flash. It will wipe the data and cache partitions (as well as the system partition) as a part of the flash process which should get rid of any FC issues.
http://www.mediafire.com/?7afc1173l7yc0qv
If you're upgrading from an EXISTING CM7 install then use this ROM instead. This one will NOT wipe the cache and data partitions which should mean that you can upgrade from one version of CM7 to another without losing any of your existing data (or that's at least the idea)

Once the system has been flashed you need to set a lot of bits up, takes about an hour from here
Firstly follow all the all the steps on BroBots175 site from Step 3 http://brobot175.co.uk/MetroUI/Setup3.html and I promise it will work.
In short you need to download and copy the MetroUITiles and paste it on your SDCARD, then restore the ADW settings with the "adw_settings" file in the download. Then install an app called "Desktop VisualizeR" from Google Play on your device and and set up Desktop VisualizeR with the settings BroBot175 recommends. Once all this is done you need to make a load of widgets that becomes each of the individual tile. Over and over again.
I hope this helps.

yeah i understand I have to make those things but my confusion is coming from what does flashing that zip do like if nothing changes then what's the point in flashing that zip? Also the first link provided can I use that to flash and start over like factory wipe then flash that zip in first link?

To answer the first question; Ah I understand mate, I didn't get it last night until I worked on the Kindle port today. When building the theme it uses the roms system files and frameworks to allow extra option to appear in the options once you start adding the tiles (Widgets) and allows the system to align the tiles together correctly.
Second question; yes mate thats what I did after I tested it and knew it worked.
EDIT CORRECTION FROM DEVELOPER - Sorry!
If you look at my screenshots the bar at the bottom has metro style home back and other icons and the notification pannel also
you change these images by flashing the theme as these images are in the framework-res.apk and the systemui.apk
I got lazy and didnt do it because for cm7 I had to rename all the images so they would work with your device.
With what youve done you dont really need to flash the zip for it to work unless you just want to install desktop visualised.
were working on a fix
Yo I need you to port this to the original rom I requested because the rom you ported this to doesn't let me play games like grand theft auto and order and chaos or at least I can't find it I'm the market which I assume means that the build.prop or something on kangs rom that isnt set up like the cm7 bare bones.
Yes mate, I am running all these games, send me your email and ill email you the build.prop with instructions its a five minute easy fix. I play order and chaos perfect on this Rom downloaded from Google play. This is why my signature says i have a gt p1000 ie Samsung galaxy tab.
I have nearly finished making a games tile set and the order and chaos one looks mint ill send it aswell.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
Só this is just a theme, the live tiles is made using desktop visualizer right
Correct the reason there is a flash install process is to change the theme of the cm7 UI to match the metro style and add special Widgets. You could keep the ui the same and make the tiles by adding the metroui folder and using visualized app so you don't need to flash.

Hi mate I have sent you an email but for anyone else email me and ill send you the build.prop file. If you already have one just follow these steps.
To get this to work for me I didn't overwrite the file as it does not work for some reason.
1st – Backup your original build.prop in the /system folder to somewhere but keep a copy there still as we are going to edit this.
2nd – Copy my build.prop to your sdcard
3rd – Long press on my file and open and edit in text editor or equivalent, select all text and copy.
4th – Exit the file and navigate to your /system folder activate rw access at the top of the screen so you can edit the file.
5th – Open your build.prop and select all text then delete, once deleted paste the text from my build.prop file you should now see the device name says a GT 1000 etc
6th – Close the file and it should ask you to save it, disable rw back to ro and exit file browser.
7th – Reboot your device and once your back in go to menu/settings/about and see if your device name has changed to the GT 1000 if it has exit and open google play type in "gameloft" and all the games should now show and allow you to install.
If this helps you mate please thank me on the forum, I am new to the forum and I am trying to build my credibility up.
Take Care
Keith
So, if I'm from another CM7 I would have to flash the second ROM and then follow brobots 's instruction then I would have to do the theming myself!
And can you send the build.prop file, I saw your instruction involving copy & pasting text, why can't we move the whole build.prop file to the system directory, then we don't have to do it too long and confusing, my email is: [email protected]
Thanks A lot for this theme, and I thanked you on both of your post, expect to see another awesome update soon.
PS: Does this work with CM9, if it's not, could you consider porting it!

There are a few ways you can look at this, if you just want to add the Metro them icons to your screen just download the image pack in BroBots175 step 3 and install appalizer then set it up. the only reason to flash the rom is to give your cm7 interface buttons the metro look (i.e. back button, menu button etc), however you don't need to.
I don't know why the build.prop files does not work when you just overwrite the file? maybe it's signed in someway? I do know that it works in the way that I described so thats how I do it.
Tiles for apps and games.
Hi I have made a few tiles for games and apps that I use. I haven't followed the theme too much as I like to see the correct images on my games icons, but I have added a download link incase anyone wants them. I have put two pictures below so you can see them.

Hi again Well it took me a bit, but as there was another OTA, it seems I finally got around to getting a new build together. Now up front it should be noted the slight tweak to the name... This stems from the fact that the newest build is in a way a step back from those that came before it, at least in two very large ways:
1) I did not personally carry over all of the themes that had been made for earlier versions of Tweaked (I did bring over the base Black and Blue by @stranula though)
2) I did not invest the time into porting in all of the lockscreens again
My apologies for not doing these things (at least up front, who knows what the future holds), but time is not what it used to be for me so I felt the sacrifice worth it (hopefully folks agree!).
Now that we all understand the meaning behind the name... let's move on to the usual stuff
I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS (GOOD OR BAD) AS A RESULT OF FLASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO FLASH WHAT IS POSTED HERE! It seems that there is considerable variability across our phones, so as always YMMV!
If there is anything you would like to see (or wish wasn't there), let me know. I can't promise I'll do anything about it, but such requests keep me motivated and learning - and thats been the driving force behind this ROM since it began.
You will need to have CWM Recovery already installed on your phone - it should work fine on any of the more recent variants but I've had great luck with the most recent one or two (version 5.0.2.7 can be found here or here) - note that some report issues with nandroids, but I tend not to use them so I haven't experienced any issues. Also, I would strongly recommend doing a data wipe/factory reset within CWM before flashing any of the non-update CWM .zips (that's what I've been doing at least and I have had no problems).
As far as kernels are concerned - there is currently only the stock fp8 kernel. Hopefully that changes at some point, but options are limited.
MY GENERAL RECOMMENDATION:
ODIN back to stock EP4D BEFORE you flash anything (which can be found here). Then either flash the three update .zips that are floating around or (likely easier) take the three OTAs to get to stock FP8A. It just makes for far fewer problems.
CWM Installation instructions:
- Backup your current setup/data
- Download file and place on sdcard
- Boot into CWM recovery
- If flashing full ROM package, its recommended to wipe data/factory reset in CWM recovery
- If flashing update package, its recommended to at least wipe cache/dalvik in CWM recovery
- MAKE SURE TO MOUNT /system IN CWM RECOVERY (it should say "unmount" after system)
- Select and install the .zip you put on your sdcard
Download links can be found further down. Let me know if there are any suggestions/issues/etc - happy flashing!

[size=+1]TWEAKTOOLS[/size]
Now tweaktools is a bit limited compared to FP5 as there are no themes and a number of the CWM mods were scrapped. That being said, there are some goodies to be had and it can always improve
Here is an edited recap of the FP5 overview of Tweaktools:
Getting started
First off, while you can use adb to run tweaktools from a computer, I'm not going to discuss this route (for those with the knowledge it's totally doable). For those going about things on their phone, here is what you need to do:
1) Open the Terminal Emulator app, then type "su" (without the quotes) at the $ prompt and hit enter
2) At least the first time you do this you'll get a prompt for superuser access - allow this of course
NOTE: If a message appears saying su could not be found, go into the Superuser app - you should see a prompt saying update su binary, which you should agree to, and then all should be well
3) Now at a # prompt, type "tweaktools" (again without quotes) and hit enter
4) You are now in tweaktools - read the screen, make selections, and have a good day.
Installing themes via tweaktools
NOTE: THERE ARE NO THEMES AVAILABLE CURRENTLY!!!
1) Start tweaktools
2) Select the themes option
3) Select a theme you are interested in
4) Here you can choose to view a screenshot (this should open it up in your browser on your phone), just DL the theme, just flash the theme if already DLed, or do a combination DL/flash.
NOTE: Themes are best experienced when flashed over the default black and blue theme - if you are not currently on that theme (or aren't sure what you are on) you should first flash back to that - THEN go through and select the new theme you are interested in. If you do not, there WILL be problems (either aethetic or functional)!
Installing debloated/selected system apps via tweaktools
1) Start tweaktools
2) Select the applications option
3) Choose what you would like to do, which includes:
- Looking through a number of debloated/preselected system apps available through tweaktools and installing
- Removing any of the system apps that have been installed via tweaktools
- Install/remove system apps from your sdcard
NOTE: Remember - these are apps that are going to /system/app - which is different than installing an apk from the play store for example.
Installing CWM-flashable mods via tweaktools
1) Start tweaktools
2) Select the CWM Mods option
3) Choose a general category to look through
4) Select an option. Here you can choose to just DL the mod, flash the mod if already DLed, or simultaneous DL/flash. Also, for boot animation/shutdown options you can choose to view a preview gif of the animation, which will open in your phones browser.
Installing "tweaks" via tweaktools
1) Start tweaktools
2) Choose tweaks menu
3) Select between init.d and non-init.d based tweaks
- REMEMBER: Many of the tweaks require init.d support, which should work on Tweaked Lite
4) Select the option you would like to install
NOTE: For more information on a number of the init.d-style tweaks, check out this thread, which is where tonsit pulled a number of these from, as well as this thread dSlice put together.
Updating rom via tweaktools
1) Start tweaktools
2) Select the Check for Updates option
3) Here tweaktools will check what rom version you are and let you know if there is an update available on tweaktools
4) If there is, choose "y" to install the update
[size=+1]Tweaktools FAQ[/size]
Q: I can't connect/get into tweaktools - what gives?
A: Sometimes servers get busy, so there will be occasions where DLs will be slow, not work, etc. The best bet is to just give it some time and try again in a little bit.
Q: So I am in tweaktools, but my app/theme/cwm mod doesn't seem to stick/flashes REALLY fast?
A: Most situations can be resolved by simply clearing downloads, exiting tweaktools, and going back in after a little time has passed. Another thing to try is to make sure the phone is NOT connected to your computer once the phone reboots to go into recovery. Something else that I have noticed is that If a problem still persists, you can just download the file then manually go into CWM recovery and flash it there.
Q: When I start tweaktools it says there's an update... now what?
A: Well you should update - the only time updates are made available is when something is fixed or some new functionality is added. There are technically two things that can be updated - the launcher (this update will require a reboot into recovery), and the menu (this does NOT require a reboot). You should definitely keep these up-to-date.
Q: Where can I find more information on tweaktools?
A: More information on all that can be done with this incredibly useful utility can be found here or here!
[size=+1]FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS[/size]
Q: I'm getting a "can't mount /sdcard" in CWM recovery - what should I do?
A: While this doesn't seem to happen often, you can download the ADBsdcardFix.zip here - then extract the folder (should be fine to extract it to your desktop) and attach your phone to the computer via USB (I did this while the phone was already in CWM). Open the newly-extracted ADB folder, and then double-click on the CWMsdcardFix.bat - something should pop up on the screen for a brief second, which is completely normal. After double-clicking the .bat file, on the phone go to mounts and storage, then select mount /sdcard - and it now should work!
All the .bat file does is the following code:
Code:
adb shell
umount /sdcard
rm -f /sdcard
mkdir /sdcard
exit
Q: Hangouts gives me a can't-sign-in error when I first sign in to the phone (i.e. after data wipe, flashing rom, etc.)... WHY YOU BREAK IT?!?!
A: Yeah I'm unsure what the cause is for this (my thinking is with so much initial syncing going on it just gets irritated), but if you reboot your phone (or even just wait a while) the issue will resolve itself.
Q: I'm having overlap issues with statusbar icons and center clock - what should I do? Also notifications aren't clumping like they were before with center clock - what gives?
A: Yup - things may overlap, so you will have to change settings to avoid the issue, or deal with it. And yup, now that center clock is more "true" center, notifications will not clump as they did before.
Q: I set my statusbar to be transparent... but I don't see my wallpaper under it. What gives?
Q: This is more a launcher issue than anything else. I actually edited the TW launcher to make it viewable - and unfortunately behavior of this will vary across launchers.
Q: After first flashing, my statusbar is missing - what do I do?
A: This occasionally happens - it clears up with a reboot. It also clears up after anything activates the statusbar ticker - so doing things like usb connecting your phone to your computer, downloading/installing an app from play store, getting a text - all these things make the statusbar reappear. Note that this only happens after the initial flash.
Q: What the hell is TSMParts?
A: A huge slew of mods and tweaks - here are some notes on them:
Most of the tweaks start at stock-ish defaults.
The statusbar icon tweaks all require a little effort on your part for changes to take effect. All changes can be elicited with a reboot, BUT for most there are other ways:
- Bluetooth/vibrate-silent/alarm icons -- just change their state (on/off or vibrate/sound, etc)
- E911 -- Go into Settings > Location and security... you don't need to do anything else, you should see the change
- Battery/signal -- these just take time... I have yet to figure out a way to get around that - seems a Gingerbread thing...
Q: Why don't you mention blah blah blah in your FAQ? It would be helpful!
A: Because you hadn't told me yet! If you feel something should be added, PM me with exactly what you would have liked to see in the FAQ (so both the Q and the A, and with details) - I of course reserve final editing rights but if I feel the addition is warranted I will add it as close to the original PM as possible.

I can confirm that everything is in great working order (even installed the wifi only tweak thanks to Jheide).
just to share my process with others:
was on tweaked 3.2 FP5 (with the FP8 modem updaterizer provided by dwith).
backed up everything via TiBu
rebooted to recovery
mounted system
wiped cache/dalvik
wiped data/factory reset
installed tweakedliteFP8
rebooted
reinstalled apps via play market
installed wifi only tweak via terminal emulator (system did not reboot, but a reboot is necessary, so be sure to do so after exiting TE)
restored data via TiBu
a couple of observations:
- I don't get that screeching noise on video playback on videos taken with this phone - YAY!!!!
- some apps such as Google Earth will NOT download b/c the app says my system is not supported (no worries though, as I can restore the app via TiBu)
- Google Hangouts works completely (even tested video chat, and got audio)
Good to see people (dwitherell especially) are supposing the Charge. Haven't been using mine for anything more than a desk clock, but I know there are some people out there still using it and appreciating the work put into it.
A job well done by all of those involved and dwith.
I am extremely grateful for this. :good:
Thank you very much sir. My 3 charges will receive this on sunday when im back from vacation if I can pull the phones away feom my kids long enough to do it. Damn Minecraft....anyway your awesome thanks again

what lockscreen style does this one actually have?
Not sure yet if I'll install this because I'm not sureif I want to go through the hassle of restoring my phone again but thanks for all your work.
Finally I'm intrigued by your "Empty ZIP" Could I concievable take apks from TiBu and place them in that folder to get a flashable zip?

Flash and restoration took less than 30 minutes.

Conceivably yes, but in order to truly work it would need a little more (things in /data as opposed to /system primarily) - I would advice NOT using it for this purpose, though it could be a base to use that you could modify to do so with a little research (and trial and error... actually mostly trial and error, at least in my experience lol).
This has two lockscreens - the two I had to do nothing for to add into the rom (beyond allow the one to be accessed). Those would be the usual circle stock one and then sliding-tab AOSP one seen in the screenshot.
apps not working

Need a bit more info... Is there an error or something that comes up? Do you have a data/wifi connection? What if you skip the setup after initial boot and try to add the account after - maybe even after a reboot? I don't have vzw service so I have to skip the initial account setup, then connect ro wfif and add the account after connected.
apps not working
Well I installed the tweaked. Lite Tom 1.0 , withkernel and radios, but do I need to manually install the systems Apps? I cannot access Gmail even with 4g and wifi it immediately states that my email and password do not match. I also have 2 step verification on,would that be the issue with this version of Gmail? The info is correct,ie password and login. Name.

Ah, so you are ok to do things like go into playstore, yes? And the issue is just GMail? There may very well be sonething you need to do to make the 2 step verification stuff happy, but I am not aware of what it is unfortunately. Sorry for the troubles!
apps not working
No playstore, but I'm going to try and remove the 2 step verification.

On older androids With 2 step verification you need to generate a unique one time password under manage application specific passwords under >settings >security

Authorized Access to your Google Account
Thanks for the update
Hopefully this will keep running strong for a while. Typically in the past when the slow-down-over-time problem happened, reflashing ROM usually fixed it for a bit of time, right?
I've gone through some times where I wanted to toss this phone at the wall.

I had the 2 step verification for a while also and it was more trouble than it was worth. I had the same issue as you and once I removed it everything was back to normal again. GL

Yeah a reflash usually fixed it. There were a few things I did in the past that I sought to avoid this time around with the thought that they were related... only time will tell though
