First, I am very new at rooting and customizing Android and appreciate any help understanding. Please don't take my questions wrong, the screenshots on these ROMS look amazing and I know more than a few tons of hours went into developing and testing, it really is that I am not comprehending the differences I'm finding.
Thanks to the help of the great tutorials here, my SK4G is now successfully rooted! I've been looking at ROMS now for a very long time and found I am really leaning towards Glorious Overdose v5 or neXus JB.
What I'm wondering though, is why would I go through the trouble and risk of flashing if it is essentially still running froyo? Since it's rooted, could I simply uninstall the junkware and use Holo or ADW for a similar effect and virtually no risk? Of course I do see the difference in the kernal version, but as I said I am new to this and it's just my guess that kernal is even a big difference maker.
I am very obviously missing something here, and though I am searching I'm not quite finding what it is I'm not understanding. Otherwise as the video stated when I signed up... I'm a noob...

Flashing a rom gives you more space / faster an more reliable
Glorious overdoes v5 is a bit buggy here an there an over all is the largest "rom" due to the aroma

Thanks for pointing out Overdose is buggy, I have that and nexus JB downloaded so perhaps I'll go with JB. Admittedly I'm a bit nervous to take that next step and flash. If I brick I have no backup phone, but it looks like the instructions here on this website are pretty clear and easy to follow. Plus, I'm a risk taker lol!
There are many reasons to flash a custom ROM, in addition to what Immortality said: you can flash one that looks and feels more like GingerBread, IceCreamSandwich, JellyBean, etc. You can pick one that isn't so bloated (although once you're rooted, you can pretty easily remove the bloat). I've tried a few, and here are my notes:
GOV33+LEAN-PERFORMANCE-RELEASE - Started out good, but over time SU stopped working, battery life degraded. Liked LauncherPro. Maybe it just needs to be reinstalled
neXus_JB_v1.2 - Colors hard to read (white on gray). Seems like too many unnecessary apps (live wallpapers, etc).
MeMoRy - Based on GOV3.3 Lean. Uses Lightning Launcher, which I didn't like at first, but it's very simple and presumably lightweight. However, the supplied Jelly Bean keyboard keeps crashing. I installed the ICS keyboard and removed the JB keyboard, and this is now the ROM I use.
Windxixi just posted about a new ROM that he says is based on GB and works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42562471#post42562471. Might be worth following.

Sweet, definitely keeping my eyes open on that thread because I know for certain I cannot fix it! I haven't even had the guts to flash a new ROM yet or even delete bloatware, only froze it so far...
i like both gov2 and nexus jb.
both of them smooth like a charm

But I still wouldn't use it if this is your only phone. Keyboard does not work so you are stranded with a virtual keyboard. Battery life does not seem to be all that great. No buttons work on the actual phone except the power button, trackpad button, and the volume down button. The gyroscope does not work and I have not even set up my SIM on this so I don't know how it works with actual use.

F2T_MOD BETA (1 issue left)
If FreshRom had a 3some with FreshToast and DC.....F2T would be the result
DFreshFriedToasT)
Ive been working for 3days trying to get this done and the first two days were completely wasted. Well last nite JsChiSurf gave me an idea that should ve hypothetically solved my problem. Well, ive been messing with it all day and its working nice. Im calling this a beta for now and putting it up because it will get fixed alot faster that way. What ever is wrong i have a feeling its not a big deal and most ppl on xda could prolly figure it out. Inside its really FreshRom,FreshToast OC kernel,and the modded files from my favorite rom, DCGv4.6. FRESH FRIED TOAST sounds like a good name. So F2T_MOD is in beta testing for anyone that wants to check it out. THIS IS A BETA. I need help testing.
WHY SHOULD I FLASH THIS?
EVERYTHING YOU GOT WITH DAMAGER_DCGv4.6 PLUS.....
Themed android/swype hybrid kb(themed blue)
Themed launcher and launcher2(by me)
Themed mainnav scroller(by me)
OC kernel
OC widget included
Total=4 launchers
Total=3 dialers
All LWPs work including nexus
Custom mainnav scroller
ISSUES
[email protected] 1st it would reboot sometimes while plugged in
-it would randomly get stuck on bootanimation
-ddms shows nothing scary so i cannot find the culprit
How i fixed it:
Kept wiping uid,data,and dalvic and rebooting and now its been working plugged in as disk since 9:30am so w/e i did im sure anyone can figure out, so i put it up to get this bug ironed out quick so others can use this sweet mod.
Once i/somemone else can figure out what i did it will be a full featured, modded, 3 Rom hybrid. Everything else works great. Dont make it your daily till then, unless you fix it on accident too XD

Nothing here was incidental. I took 3days to get this to work. Should haves are for you. I made this for myself and ul'd for others to check out and debug.
That would be nice but i WASNT going that route. I already did that a month or two ago....But before theme and look comes utility and usefulness when i do this, cus these are my personal roms that i make for myself that i share.
thanks for the input, i appreciate constructive critique. Well i can do themes, but FIRST to me when i make a rom is giving members choices and options that are not available to us yet, like custom launchers and kbs, lwp mods, etc....or a rom with 4 custom launchers,3 dialers, 3 kbs. Surely i have never seen any other roms like this so i make it and gives ppl another choice. Im not just a themer, but in no way a dev yet either. i made these MYSELF so they will be no where else but here. I made my transformers theme a while back, and IT IS A TRANSFORMERS THEME. THIS IS NOT. Its just made by someone who likes the transformers, so obviously it may reflect in some of my work. The nav scroller was just a proof of concept. I just thought it was pretty neat so i included it . GitKid told me he missed it in my last rom, so i tried to make it awesome this time along with everything else. I can theme in my sleep(I am an art major). Im trying to do ALOT more than just theme. I dont want to have to kang other ppls work but I cannot compile yet. HOwever i have been working on that. So its like this, if darch, flipz,toast,damage were all LIVE musicians, well id be a dj making remixes of that live music, and im happy with what i have learned in this short amount of time for now, but im ALWAYS trying to learn more, anyway i can. But its obvious you never saw it so check out my OptimusRom, thats TRANSFORMERS. And ive been using that site to collect all of my 120+ fonts i use to choose from since &RoidRage linked me to that site. Transformers font is still my fave, but only for a transformers theme. There are two other transformers fonts too, but they are called various other names, you should check them out youd probably like them as well...ALSO this might seem all over but i dont think there is any other choice considering i have compiled parts from over 8 differnt roms and got them to all work together. YOU try that and get it to boot...... NOT EASY.I eat sleep and drink this $h!t, and im STILL just a noob....
ur analogy's are awesome!
ur right i do not kno of ur works from months back, especially considering the fact that im not even a hero user...im an eris user. i just like to try out different things.
but as i mentioned i do dig ur works simply because of the multitude of options thats given, its a plus when u get tired of one thing, instead of seeking out other roms, just make ur rom do something else!

Glad to hear it
I'm going to give this a shot, but I wanted to see if the LWP's are sticking after screen sleeps, and if so, does the fix impact gallery3d and other openGL type apps? (usually navigation gets fubared for example and some games and gallery lag out badly).
Just curious.
Tun support?
Does this Rom have kernel tun support so we can use things like openvpn and vpnc?
I'd just like a link to the wallpaper image of the hot chicks.

What I'm looking for are suggestions from our community on what your would like to see added into roms for our phone. Please no outlandish requests like 3.0. I look forward to seeing what you guys want in a rom and or mods.
Things being worked on.
Power menu options
Multi lockscreens.
A new secret tool??? (Will be looking for testers)
Things to look into
Changing sleep animation.

At one time I asked about being able to silence notifications with the power button or the volume down button for example but I wasn't sure if that was part of the roms responsibility or not.
Maybe some built-in customization. Like different battery icons. Clock or no clock in the notification bar. Different lock screens, (looks like that one might happen). Different color schemes.
I need to donate to you guys when I get home. You guys do this stuff for free on your limited free time. I wouldn't mind getting into this and help out some. I love to program and figure things out. Is there some sort of reading I could read to find out how to do some of this stuff (I.e., roms, color schemes, etc ...)

Ok...I wouldn't mind those either...
I am actually pretty damn happy with how my phone is doing now. I like to lose the clock in the notification bar also. I know that's not possible yet tho and I'm not worried too much. I would like an undervolted kernal too to see if my battery life would be improved (even tho it's pretty good considering the size of this beautiful screen). My main suggestion tho would to be all of us that aren't doing any development/modding ourselves. And that's to thank those who do profusely and donate to them when we can for all their effort!

5 lockscreen mod.
Ultimate rom (kinda)

If your talking about some modded apks too, id like to see a different look for Google voice! The standard one is boring - just white and grey. Seeing a black one with cool text maybe or something would be cool. Also, an ACCURATE battery icon in the top left would be great. Amd i really like it when you hit tge sleep button and the screen goes out like an old tv. And, I don't know if it'd be possible, but music controlls in the notification bar (something that works w/ power amp?) Would be sweet. I'll try ur ROM with anything you put in it thanks!

if possible stock/aosp google calendar. I've tried a bunch of different 2.2 versions and the option to modify calendar FC and some versions have artifacts on top of the app

Hi guys, soon these will work, I just wish i had a mesmerise. Hopefully the future will hold something good for u, what phidelt has shown is his hard work and soon will get the options working. Once we crack these two, u will be really close to getting ULTIMATE . Have a nice day. What we do is complete samsungs job for free .
A feature that I was requesting would be a fun add....screen off/sleep animations. Thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962969
I'll add that to my Todo list. Thanks for suggesting it.

Yes all the mods will be available separate and probably will be built onto pick n pack. Once 2.2 comes out and we have real source code it will be easier to make changes.

As I was working on the current ROM I am trying to get going I got agitated and so for a break I themed it and made this while trying to get the extended toggles and tweaks to work right.
There is no need to do any wipes, as long as you are already on the stock 2.3.4 v21y rooted ROM that I posted. This theme is based off of the Xperia Arc UI and is FAR from complete, but I thought people would like something different with some functionality so here it is.
This will add the basic quickpanel toggles as well as the theme that I have included. All that is included so far is SystemUI, framework-res and some other small adjustments here and there.

Well, the good news is I didn't touch the USB or signal code at all. IIRC, Weapon had some changes to signal code related to how some of the lockscreens needed to access phone state, etc. Which is why I didn't mess with that code with a 10 foot pole!
The USB code looked like when LG first grabbed it, it had support for USB host in place, which they simply disabled. They may have messed some stuff up doing that, and fixed it for the final 2.3.4.
It is promising though that this isn't just a simple recompile of the leaked version, maybe we finally have a stable STOCK ROM for the g2x after all this time.
Awesome theme and toggles.
I think people are more about 3D looking toggles like these

First one is the dalvik rebuild issue you fixed with the repack, the literally kanged that code in.... The iffy wifi is visible in several spots too.

I resigned the entire ROM (except google apps) when doing Tsugi, so I may have avoided signature problems that way.
As far as Wifi, mine has settled down and is working well, though it has gotten "stuck" on an old wifi once this week. That's a problem I see on my TouchPad as well, so it may have to do with the Apple router at a friend's house which is the network they tend to get stuck on... the device will think it's still connected even when you're miles away, and of course, it isn't actually connected. Have to toggle wifi off and back on.
OH YEAH.....
Are you still using older versions of aapt/apktool/baksmali? Or have you updated to the latest versions? That could be an issue, might try switching versions to older and/or newer.
Love the animation. Sorry about my idea and the pngs if you don't like em. Just a random thought of mine. Sorry though. No hard "peeling" huh

Everything builds fine, I tried resigning everything, but....needless to say i can make my phone go into s/w by installing apps after i did it. I dont think the issue is with the version of the tools, its more to the sha5/sig checker in the newer version of the lg crapware.

I've always kinda liked the Xperia launcher in various versions because Sony appears to have made FAST and LIGHT key words in their launcher. Too bad it is horizontal scrolling. But I put up with that because the launcher is just very clean.
Stock launcher has always bugged me... they tried to make scrolling "pretty" but instead they made it kinda "boomerang/springy" feeling... like you have to fight if you want to scroll fast.

Sony is definitely doing it right. Their images are super clean and well thought of along with their code. I'm debating on trying to do a port of a Sony rom just to try and for the beauty of their ui.

Oh yeah? it might not be the same then. Have a nandroid for me to compare? I've only tested it on my rom. I know you can't flash it at the same time as the rom, that's why I released it as a theme/mod.
If no one loads a nandroid guess ill rollback and try to get the ota..

Hello all!
First and foremost thanks to blindndumb, kushdeck, and the creators of JoyOS. It's because of them that I was able to follow a guide and get this sucker started...
So thanks to blindndumb's awesome guide a noob like me was able to port JoyOS to our beloved EVO4G. This will be my first time performing any sort of port as I'm still in the beginner stages of it all... Given that any and all help (Knowledge) is welcomed and greatly appreciated!!
The base rom used is EVODecks 1.3 Stable (My daily driver and all time favorite)
It's sporting the stock cyanogen kernel 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01509-g8913be8
So what works after 24hrs of testing:
Everything!!... Well sort of: Except 4g (Unable To Test) & some users are finding that 3g is unreliable
What doesn't work:
4g & 3g (case by case)....
Download the file from the link below...
Joyous_EVOness_1.1 (Flashable):

Joyous_EVOness_1.2 Changelog As Of 5/27/2012:
Translated JOYClock app from chinese to english
Got rid of the chinese text on the JOYCalendar
Future Changes:
None. Rom will remain "as is" and everyone is more than welcomed to take it further, tweak it and fix anything that is bothering you. Just give proper credit where credit is due.
Mods:
I created a theme using UOT Kitchen that changes the status bar and notification dropdown. You can try it below:

Unable to test 4G as I live in the boondocks and sprints promises never materialized... And yes the base rom used is kushdecks EVODECKS 1.3 stable... on blindndumb's guide he recommends cyanogenmod7 but I opted for kushdecks...
Could you post up some screenshots?
See post #4.. I just uploaded them... Thanks for even taking a peek here... I'm humbled!
Does anyone else load these ROM's on their phones for the sole purpose of showing it to their 'fan boy' buddies, and say "Hey check it out, I can make my phone look like an iPhone, can you make yours look like an android?"
...or is it just me?

Edit: downloading now.
MIUIeD UP!
Anyone wanna give some feedback on this rom before I flash it?
Running good so far. Had issues with no data but enabled and disabled airplane mode and it seemed to clear it up. Flashed Mason G 0.14 and it is going smooth. Haven't had a hiccup. Music, Camera and messaging apps seem to be working good. Love how it has the iOS feel to it. Reminds me of when I had my iPod touch, but with the awesomeness of AOSP. I will keep messing with this for the remainder of the night and in to tomorrow to test out battery life. Gonna setup my CoD tweaks now.
Update: Sent MMS just fine. No issues so far except for the data not working after the phone boots up. Had it happen again after I restarted my phone. Also when a text is received, the screen does come on so its kinda cool. Never messed with JoyOS or heard of it so this is all new to me. Will try 4G later when I am in coverage area. Only 3G for me right now, but data speeds are fairly decent.
thanks for the update!!!

In OP it states that its based off Decks 1.3, so that's Gingerbread.
I'm liking the feel of this rom so far. Running v1.1 with Mason G v.14 kernel. Only problem I seem to be having is the data. I've tried enabling/disabling Airplane Mode, but a no go. Anyone else find a solution to this?
I knew this summer was going to be a hit for the Doubleshot, but it seems all dev action has ceased since then.

Well it still has some issues. The major one is not going to deepsleep. Then the force close from portrait to landscape and back again. I'm racking my brain trying to figure it out though because I've gotten way more Widgets from LG added

I still don't have a development box to start developing so that first before the WIP since I would need to pull the whole CM build and compile it just to make this recovery. I don't think my good old vps is enough to do this kind of job and I'm not also considering to reformat my windows PC just for this.
I think it has been a pretty good summer for development on our MT4GS. We've got a nice crop of ICS roms to choose from, either AOSP or CM or several Sense flavors. It's a smorgasbord! :highfive:

Well Sun_Dream has worked on our phone with a bit of Sense roms if you dig that.
"HTC Doublshot ICS Bliss" sporting Sense 3.6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896643
and
"Doubleshot Android 4.0.4 Sense4.1+4A Base Ville_U_ICS_40_S_2.31.401.5": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832805
Both seem solid, didn't quite test them out as I'm digging XMC's Jellybean.
Should be a lot of development when Sense 4.5 comes out though I sense ports coming.

Still won't be that helpful to me since we got a crappy internet in our country. Pulling a whole CM build would take me like almost a day of non stop downloading to do that
Unlike on a vps I could just pull both cm7 & cm9 in 30minutes

Ok so where I'm at now. I have figured out I didn't need to use anything from the EVO Shift to get this LG launcher up and running. So its not a port anymore ( so it lost andromaus settings which were cool but caused wakelocks ), its more so a launcher replacement, all other cm9 functions work like they should. So right now I'm trying to figure out how to post it, and here are my posting options I can either
1. Just package all the launcher and widgets as a flash over for any CLEAN INSTALL OF AOSP/AOKP ( will need testers for AOKP ). And a certain set of gapps so the gallery don't get broken
Or
2. I can just pre package everything into a CM build ( gapps and all ) so nothing gets broken. Its your call here is a couple screen shots. And if anyone wants to give it a try just pm me ill get you a dropbox link

I don't know about other people, but personally I'd go with option 2. You will have a lot less bugs to deal with and give yourself more time to focus on improving it and adding features. I don't know what you think about that but that's what I'd go with
