Android 2.0.1-r5v0.6
Dead:
==============
After spending some time and looking over this rom and ways to make it work with out any legal issues. The most viable option was to build something like what cynanogen has built. His process takes the proprietary bits (all google apps including sync) and copies them off onto the SD card before doing a update. After the update it copies them back to the newly installed rom. This method basically does a automated backup/restore of your licensed applications. I can't do this for several reasons including that we are supposed to be coming from a 1.5 OS to a 2.0.1, which isn't compatible with the older application set.
Temporarily Offline:
==============
I am sorry to have to do this but we are now having more then just a small handful goofing with this ROM and I need to take this offline while I inspect each of the parts and make sure all licensing is in order since its a bit more then the google Opensource framework. I know that several other ROM creators have not paid much attention to it as I am going to now but I really don't want to upset any IP holders like what happened to Cynanogen a couple months back.
I will put it back up but I want to make sure that I am totally covered and don't have any issues.
version 0.6: download (offline)
==============
-fixed wifi thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593620
-Now starts up with Android stock keyboard. (No longer needs HTC_IME.apk for second keyboard)
A few have asked for this ROM so I thought I would put it up here for anyone that wants to contribute to or take from it.
This ROM is only compatible with the Sprint CDMA HTC Hero. It is not finished and still requires some work but its good enough for my day to day use and I am sure others may find the same potential.
This ROM is vanilla android and what it takes to actually get it running on a CDMA phone. It is built off of this GSM variant. I am going to try and work to remove the google bits so that you can use Cynanogens method of extracting your own and then doing a follow up update to install them. My efforts for this is not to build a better rom but to build a cleaner base that has limited to no proprietary IP.
Credits to all on this forum how have helped or contributed in any way to building the roms that are here. I would point out names but there are to many to name. I am positive that anyone that pays attention to this forum will know who you are. I used many parts of these ROM's and many others on XDA to build this one.
This is my first ROM and was primarily made for myself to help me learn how to create a custom ROM.
Here is the link to my blog where I originally posted about this and a video of it booting.
Here is the Youtube video of it booting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRTh-rXKe-E
*Warning*: Don't attempt to flash this ROM onto anything else unless you know what you are doing! I am not responsible for any device malfunctions or "Bricks".
Notes on Installing:
- Run a Nandroid backup before you do anything.
- Make sure you do a full wipe first. (Sorry )
- Run the update zip found * Version 0.6 *(offline) from the recovery console.
To get the HTC keyboard installed: (Now Optional as of Version 0.6)
- Follow the instructions here.
Things that don't work:
- Gallery some times has issues.
- Camera
- Wired or Wireless Tethering (Now Testing)
- Orientation
- Trackball light
- Trackball click (Rolling and moving are fine)
- (Let me know if something else needs to go here.)
Possible issues that are not repeatable:
- speaker not working on out bound calls? I made 30 test calls to my home phone and was not able to replicate this issue. Needs to be verified (see here)
Awesome! Thanks! disregard my PM lol.. Great timing.

LOL I was just getting to replying to you!
im trying it now nice work
Let me know if any of you have issues flashing. I still have it all right here in front of me if I need to make a change.
FYI: The first boot takes for ever as it registers all the APKS.
i just get the HTC_IME fource close i installed the one from the site like you said and installed it and i get this

So you installed both the HTC_IME.apk and the Clicker.apk? Did you do a adb push or a adb install?
Try and go into settings --> Language & Keyboard --> Touch Input --> Text Input?
I think its a force of habit with out really thinking to go there and calibrate but just going there may help.
Try that and let me know.
i just flashed it and pushed the keyboard and calibration app through adb and all is well. its working awesome. Thanks!!!

I would do an install or transfer them to your SD card and grab a app like Astro from the market to install them. Don't worry we will get you worked out.

Not able to get a working Keyboard Now I'm stuck in a boot loop. Tried installing through droid explorer.. no go.. tried installing from astro ..no go.. now it loads lockscreen.. dead... reboot..rinse and repeat
removed SDcard.. boots now trying to push.. but where do I push the apk files to?

Thanks, but I really can't take to much credit. Its a "Pick and Pull" from several ROMs. This one actually came from our GSM Brothers and then I used the CDMA tricks in this form to make it work.
I keep watching and playing with the Google Nexus Dumps. I would really like to get one of them up and running.
Based on your posting and replies I assume you are re-using the 2.6.27 kernel like the other roms?

Wow thats allot in a little space.
What I gather is that it originally booted, then after trying to install via droid explorer and then astro it now just dies after the lockscreen.
I am not sure where to start. I would just say to do a full wipe, then a clean install. Then if you have the sdk try the ADB install method as Cynanogen's post talks about.
I am working on trying to get the stock Android keyboard to work. If we can figure out that then we don't have to mess with the HTC one.
ok i got it i just adb pushed them to system/app works great

Yeah, actually some of your work if I remember correctly, thats why its got the same issues. My first goal when I built this for my self was to get past the blasted google bits sync loop. The more I worked into it the more I moved on to the 2.0.1 build with some of your stuff in it.
Your welcome to anything I have learned, its really not my work.

The stuff you want to do requires you to be rooted first. So download SuperOneClick and use that to root your device first.
1. Making a backup is usually with a app called Rom Manager. After installing, you can press the option to download the recovery and afterwards you can make a backup of the rom. Its best to make a backup of the stock rom that came with the phone just for... backup purposes.
Cyanogenmod is in progress, but not released yet so you should wait for that.
No point in checking on Modaco because there's almost no one posting there for this device.
If you want to install a new rom, you basically only need 3 things. Your phone, the custom rom you want from the Optimus 3D Android Development Section, and the instructions that thread gives you. Its best to follow the instructions that they give. Very easy and simple process.
2. Flashing a rom = installing a rom. All your data and etc are gone. Doesn't exist anymore, it'll be as if you got a fresh phone from out of the box except the rom has been modified. So if you want to keep your data, go make backups of them. For contacts, just sync them with your gmail account. For messages, download an app to back those up. I don't have a texting plan so I can't recommend you a sms backup app. If you want to backup your apps, you can look at Titanium Backup.
3. Whenever you flash a new rom, anything you've done to your phone is gone. So you'll have to reapply any tweaks you've done. For those 3 links, Link 1 and 2 are both stock camera replacements. They replace the stock camera on your phone. So you could only pick one. They both aim to improve the stock camera quality. Personally, I haven't installed either. I use 3rd party camera apps for taking pictures. For the 3rd link, its only a way to get GameLoft games to your external sd card to save some bit of space on your internal sd card. If you need it, try it out. I didn't need it, so I haven't touched it.
4. Are you talking about creating an android app development envirenment or...?
5. GPS, are you talking about GPS navigation, GPS detection, or..?
6. Applying a theme is just changing the graphical appearance of the phone. Applying a rom is changing much more than that. Applying a rom lets you have a rom with tweaks that gives you more space, more speed, more etc etc. Most custom roms has their own themes. Basically, if you want to change how your phone's launcher looks, then that's applying a theme. If you want your phone to be different from stock and have lots of bloatware removed and faster and etc you would want to install a new rom.
To change a theme there's 2 ways. One is to change it on the rom which would affect the stock launcher. 2nd way is to download a new launcher and download any of the themes they have and use those instead. I prefer the 2nd way just because its much easier and most of the time 3rd party launchers are simply better than the stock launchers.

Hi guys, I am new here so try to be gentle.
This was the first time I've ever tried to do something with my phone (Nexus S) from the day I've bought it. (Ver 2.3.4)
I did my homework, and tried to install a new Mod.
I have tried many Roms from the last couple of days, but for some strange reason non of them worked fast enough (at least as my old version).
(well and the fact that it erased my SD card with all the info I've had there...)
The one version that looked ok from first sight was:
CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v3.4 + CM Night builds
Now I'm having lots of different issues, and have no idea if someone already solved them, or should I just return to the working old version I had.
The first thing is -> I cannot move Apps to the SD storage, Under the Storage cattegory i have no option to choose to install apps on the SD (like I had with the old version), and under Apps - the "move to SD card" is Grey.
another thing is the languages, why do I see Chinese and other langauged by default and Im unable to uncheck them?
there are many more issues, but these are the most annoying ones for now.
I cannot reply to the version thread, so who can advice?
Thanks!
There are MANY roms for the Nexus. You just have to try a few and find one to your liking. The Chinese text you were talking about might of been an MIUI rom. They are based from China. When you go through the setup screen on each rom after you flash, make sure you choose the appropriate language to your liking.
On another hand. If you tried an ICS rom, then I think apps to sd don't work on Ice Cream Sandwich. I am not 100% sure, though. Please don't take my word for it.
Some roms might have bugs, some might work 100%. Just do the reading and flashing and learn from experience. Its the best way.
BTW. Welcome to XDA!
Well not quite.

The MOD is the most recent CM9 mod, (named in the topic).
I dont see why is it related with the fact I cannot uncheck the unneeded language like Chinese.
but the language part is not much of an issue like the SD card.
I am not trying to run old Apps, since my SD was formatted during the upgrade,
I am trying to move - or choose where to install current apps, ability I had before this Version.
I have an image to attache, but I cannot since I am a new member.
any reason why other mods for the same phone were working very slow? (Clean installation)
thanks for the quick reply.
The ability to move/force all apps to to SD or pick a default install location is not included in the rom yet. Do it manually with a app if you want to move something to SD that doesn't support being moved there.

Just tried it, same thing, Apps cannot move to the SDcard.
I find the "Airplane" icon can't be shown on the top when you choose "text" in Signal status style.
ROM: CM9 v3.4
KERNEL: Matr1x v17.5

I have d/l couple of apps that move to usb, they all say apps cannot be moved to the SD, those apps (like facebook) were already on my SD with the old version.
Just because the old version allowed to move them to SD that does not mean the apps support it. Again since the feature to do it within the rom itself is not there yet you have to do it manually with a third party app. Titanium backup or one of the who knows how many root apps2sd apps will move it

Got it, thanks.
another thing, when unlocking the device I have two options.
one is to unlock, and the other one is the camera.
Q: 1. can i switch the camera with something else?
2. I have seen roms with 4 -5 -6 different options to unlock, how can I have this feature?
thanks again.
That is a feature built into that rom. Cyan doesn't have it yet. Not sure what options they are planning to add to lock screen . Just a place holder for now in settings. There are lock screen replacements on the market you could install if you like.
Try CNA or the more stable CM7.2
CM9 made by Kalim doesn't have these features right now. You could try a different ROM called "Codename Android" (CNA) which is based on ICS.
However, all these ROMs are not in their final stage. A better choice to try would be the CyanogenMod 7.2 for NS. I was using it while I was on GB, works wonders, although expect BSOD some times...
Enjoy the testing!

Hi!
I've got the HTC Sensation XE with the stock software (Android 4.0.3 and HTC Sense 3.6) but he's very slow!
So I've tried some taskmanagers and app killers but these doesn't help.
To make my phone faster I've got some questions:
1) Does it help to just root and install something to make it go faster? (so all my apps, files and settings stay)
2) Better to root the phone and install another Android version?
3.1) Cyanogenmod or something else?
3.2) Why?
3.3) And where can I find a tutorial to install this for my phone?
4.1) What are the pros and cons of Cyanogenmod (or another one) vs the default?
4.2) And what are the pros and cons of rooting/installing another Android version in general?
4.3) Is there some noob/beginners article on this?
4.4) Can I still use Google Play?
5.1) If I install another version I've to reset my phone?
5.2) I'd like to stick with my apps, files and settings. Is this possible?
6) If question 5.2 isn't possible, not a very big deal; I can re-install apps, reset settings and backup and restore my files (photos and contacts). But there's only one app I don't know how to backup: Smurf Village (for my girlfriend). She'll kill me if I lose the save game. Does somebody know how I can backup and restore that game?
7) Does a custom Android version auto update? So I don't have to update my phone manual time by time?
If you answer please explain why or just give me a link where I can find a good answer.
I've searched a lot but there's so much information about this! But not specific for the Sensation XE. Again, I'm happy with some good links to!
Kind regards,
Roy
P.S. I'm from the Netherlands, so I prefer a Dutch version!

Wow. Lots of questions! i shall try to help you out
1. Yes and no, it depends what you install. A custom kernel can make it go faster.
2. This depends on your preference of style. If you love htc sense (stock htc look) then stick with a custom sense rom. It will stay on ics. If you like the look of Cyanogenmod then jump up to jellybean 4.1.2
3.again matter of preference.
3.2 Cyanogenmod is a "vanilla" version of android. Its almost pure stock but with there own custom code added to it for tweaks and settings and speed and many other things. Cyanogenmod is the largest custom rom and also one of the longest running. It covers a very wide range of devices and many many custom roms and based on its source code
3.3 check the q&a or any cyanogenmod thread.
4.1 Cyanogenmod is faster, comes prerooted and has a massive amount of custom stuff available. It is what many custom roms are based on and you can get it on most devices these days
Official or not htc sense is arguably prettier than Cyanogenmod but it has a lot of bloatware. Also sense its self is quite resource hungry. But with custom sense roms you will still get a nice fast experience.
4.2 rooting allows you access over the read write functions of the phone. It means you can write to the system partition and as such change almost anything on the phone. Once you have rooted it means any app wanting to have root (superuser permission) will have to ask superuser first. Cons are some carriers don't like it when you root. When changing android version you get the benefits and downfalls of that new update. Like if you upgrade to jellybean you get the advantage of project butter (Google is your friend) but with 4.2.1 we got ****ty Bluetooth drivers. But generally updates are good
4.3 Google and xda are your friend
4.4 of course if you want to with Cyanogenmod roms then flash gapps.
5.1 yes
5.2 apps can be reinstalled and settings redone. But you will have to do it manually pal. They will be wiped when you change rom.
6. You could attempt to use adb to pull the data/data/appname folder. But I would ask around before you do anything as I am not sure.
7. Lots of custom roms do push ota updates now. Just check the roms thread.
Hope this clears things up a bit
tapped out from my sexy sensation XE

5.2) I'd like to stick with my apps, files and settings. Is this possible?

apps can be reinstalled and settings redone. But you will have to do it manually pal. They will be wiped when you change rom.

You could attempt to use adb to pull the data/data/appname folder. But I would ask around before you do anything as I am not sure.

Answers In a neat format now im at the pc
1) Does it help to just root and install something to make it go faster? (so all my apps, files and settings stay)
royduin said:
Ok, so I've to install a custom kernel like Cyanogenmod?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Cyanogenmod is not a kernel, cyanogenmod is an open source aosp built version of the android system they have there own kernels though It will be installed when you install the rom. as a rule of thumb never install a sense kernel to a aosp rom and vise versa.
2) Better to root the phone and install another Android version?
royduin said:
Sense looks good, but I prefer performance and stability above styling. I've found this* list, what can you recommend? Jellybean is newer than ics so I think i prefer jellybean.

If you want to jump to performance and jellybean then -->this<-- is the rom for you!
3.1) Cyanogenmod or something else?
royduin said:
Ok, see my previous questions

Cyanogenmod, but from the devs at xda
3.2) Why?
royduin said:
It sounds like the best choice? But.. This* is where I can download it? But there's only a stable version of 9.1. Is nightly/experimental build of 10 good enough for daily use? I don't wan't any limitations.
*this refers to this

I would recommend the rom above as it has all the features of cyanogenmod but with the developers added support as well!
3.3) And where can I find a tutorial to install this for my phone?

Got it*! I hope it's clear enough to understand. As you can read it will be my first time.

This guide is no longer relivant to your device as you undoubtedly have the updated hboot. This is what you need to remove the security from your new hboot once that is done i recommend using this guide to upgrade your firmware.This is to ensure rom compatibility once this is done install this recovery via fastboot. After that Simply follow the install instructions from the first posts of the rom thread i have linked above
4.1) What are the pros and cons of Cyanogenmod (or another one) vs the default?
royduin said:

Yes, for your needs
4.2) And what are the pros and cons of rooting/installing another Android version in general?
royduin said:
I just want a faster phone with no limitations. Searched for project butter and that sounds nice! But I still want to use bluetooth..? With which version is this possible?

Any android rom running jellbean will have Project butter inside Including the rom linked above.

4.4) Can I still use Google Play?
royduin said:
Okay, not really clear for me. Google Play isn't integrated by default? I just have to install a Google Play apk after installing Cyanagenmod or something?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes you can still use google play Gapps stands for Google Apps. What happend was a few years ago cyanogenmod issued there roms with gapps pre-installed and google issued them with a cease and desist order stating that only they, and agreed upon companies could distribute google apps. cyanogenmod stopped for a little bit as they considered their position. Eventually it came about that having gooogle apps as a flashable zip was the answer, as it was not directly distributed with cyanogenmod. from then on all aosp/aokp roms that i am aware of followed suit and started using gapps!
5.1) If I install another version I've to reset my phone?

You may be in luck pal since you are on ics this solution should be applicable to you ^^ i would use the droid explorer application first from your windows pc and see how you get on, before you start the s-off process

8) I can set the language to Dutch in all custom roms?
allowing the rom has support for the language yes (as far as i know most aosp roms will have support for most languages )
Many, many thanks again! Really!
The most is clear now, but before I start, another question:
Is it possible to make a full backup of everything, so when I don't like Cyanogenmod I can restore that and have everything back again? (including apps, settings, etc. Even my save game in the Smurf Village app?). Just created a full backup trough Droid Explorer, but I don't know if this is possible with that kind of backup.
Read a lot about this in the topics you provided*, but I want to make sure it will go smoothly, I use the right tool and it's possible as I subscribed above.
*in the upgrade firmware guide you provided, in the recovery guide and I found this in the "beginners guide".

It isn't going well..
Tried these steps a couple of times: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
But I get this error: "ADB out of date" with the temp_root tool but it looks like it's working, then I've used the ControlBear tool, here I get the same error and after waiting a while: "secondary backup failed", now my device doesn't work proper!
First a message that locations is crashed, and then sense is starting over and over again... and now system ui is crashed.. Can't work with my phone now! Tried to restart but everything keeps crashing...
Please help me!!
Should I restore a backup created trough Droid Explorer (I think it's the same as "adb backup")?
UPDATE
Replaced the adb files with newest ones from sdk and the "out of date" messages are gone! Just have run the "temp_root_remove" tool and now my device works as it has to be.
I'll give it another try now!

Thanks! Up and running! But... my contacts are gone, they where on my sim card.. When I choose import from simcard no contacts are found and I haven't backup-ed up my contacts specific. Can I go back and get them someway? (I've got a full backup made trough "adb backup" and a backup made trough the recovery)
UPDATE
I had lookout installed, after installing CM it asked to download all previous apps back, so I agreed. Lookout was installing too and has made some backups in the past so I've restored my contacts only and have them all backup again!
I'm curious about the save game for the "smurfs village" app. It's installed automatically, but haven't started it yet. What do you advise, start it before restoring or restore and then start?
UPDATE 2
Sadly lookout haven't backed-up my contacts the right way, so I've got names without phone numbers.. Any ideas how to get them back?
UPDATE 3
Still got no contacts
Meanwhile I've restored the backup for the "smurf village" app and got my save game back!
I used the ROM from here. (LG Optimus T (P509): January 8: Build 7/Final)
I have no Google Play store icon anywhere. I see the Google Play process running in the background.
but have no way to get it to show up. This on a fresh ROM, all User data, Cache, and all that cleared.
Any help on this would be nice.
Would of asked on that post where I got the ROM. but I don't have the patience to or any thoughts about other post to make to meet the requirements to even post there.
Tried without flashing the Google Apps and with the google apps they list there.
Flashing Google Apps just crashes things like the browser. it wont even open.
Not flashing Google Apps I can use the browser just fine. but I still see "Google Play Services" Running. So that tells me google play is installed.
So don't have to flash it. but cant open it even if i did or not. no Icon anywhere no matter what I try. I been wanting to use CM10. but this issue keeps me going back to CM7.
Thanks in advance to the person with the answer.

Are you sure you are using the right GApps package? That's Rasheds ROM you're referring to using. Build 7 is Android 4.1.2. Check this link here. And some of the problems you may be experiencing could be due to a faulty installation because of limited system space. You may want to review the LG Optimus One FAQ too.

There is more then enough internal space. (150MB Free after Gapps Flashed).
I tried again with the Gapps for 4.1.2. At the time my post I re flashed the ROM but left it out. I didn't flash it.
When I tried again. I got the Updating Android. but still no Play Store Icon. However it did not break my home or other buttons.
and browser still working. but again. no Play Store icon.
I checked the FAQ. Currently i see nothing there to give hints. I got more then enough free space. I've flashed ROMs on this phone dozens of times so I know the whole wiping of cache and data and all that between each ROM.

You have to trim the Rom, there's not enough SYSTEM space for the Rom and Gapps..this has been discussed time and time again on rashed thread(cm10)..There's a tool ( Oone Rom editor that will help you do this) This is why you have the bugs that your facing.

The system partition has nothing to do with the devices memory. These devices have a 190 MB system partition, this is where Android gets installed. What you are referring to is the user data partition which is 200 MB, while the device has 415 MB+- RAM ( memory ). Unless you are using Android 4.2.2, the only way to see how much space is on the system partition is with a third party app, with ADB, or with a Terminal Emulator app on the device. The math isn't adding up because you don't understand it, that's why I pointed you to the FAQ thread.
I wrote OOne ROM Editor. I haven't put hundreds, yes hundreds, of hours in to it's development just for general pleasure. It was written for a specific purpose, to trim ICS and newer ROMs for devices with small or limited system partitions.

Are you getting an "assert() failed" message? If you are using CWM 5.0.2.7 Touch, it will only allow you to install P500 ROMs. OOne ROM Editor has the ability to remove the "assert()" statement from the ROM's updater-script to prevent that particular error from happening. Before building the ROM, go to the Tools->Build submenu and select the Build Options command. Check the checkbox for "Remove updater-script 'assert()' statement". Then build the ROM.
And stress... You call editing a ROM stress? Try writing the code for OOne ROM Editor Or better yet, play with live electricity :silly: - oh wait I do that already since I am an electrician... DOn't get frustrated by it. Sit back relax and soak in some of the knowledge around here.

Sorry you're having a bad day. Rest assured, if I was talking down to you, there wouldn't be any smilies. I was just expressing that you weren't the only one out there with stress in their life, and some of us have loads of it. On that note, I'm not one of the many teenagers around here. So I'm not talking down to you, but out of experience. My teenage years were gone 23 years ago. Apparently it was take outta context, Sorry.
I think the issue I mentioned for CWM 5.0.2.7 is a shared issue with CWM 5.0.2.0, but I can't say for sure as I don't recall ever using CWM 5.0.2.0. I wasn't suggesting changing to the CWM I mentioned, was asking if that was the one you were/are using, which you've now stated you aren't. There error I was referring to would have been from CWM after flashing or trying to flash a ROM.

Can that program add apps? If so or not. maybe I can edit the zip directly. but is it possible to port the old music player in Gingerbread to JB. I don't like Apollo. or would it just be better to remove Apollo and find something I like in Play store when i make this work?
And should i try to use CWM 5.0.2.7 instead, and try again?
EDIT: Says I have the latest according to this.
EDIT 2: just ROM Manger being a butt. going to the site directly. I see CWM 5.0.2.7 as the latest.

Yes apps can be added, but only as User Apps. Select "User Apps" in the treeview on the left. Then right click on the listview on the right and select the "Add apps" command item. A file dialog will appear. Multiple file selection is allowed.
You can remove Apollo. I prefer Google Play Music myself.
For your recovery. CWM 5.0.2.7 will only allow installing P500 ROMs. I do prefer the touch version of CWM, and since P509 is identical to P500, it's really not an issue other than baseband which is solved with a flashable patch. I really cannot recommend a recovery as we all have different likes/dislikes/usage patterns. I would recommend not using ROM Manager to install a recovery. It's been known to be faulty with our devices. Theres always ADB and fastboot or another one of my tools, Android Flash Recovery. There are several other apps around XDA that can do this also.

Ill just leave it be then. Its always worked for me. if there was a problem it was with the ROM.
I haven't tried Google Play music before. but is it possible to port the music player from Gingerbread to JB?
but I'm getting the jiffs of that program. I just need to play with it. some things I converted to User apps never loaded at all.
So I need to play with what I can put in User data that will still work. but none the less i been getting the builds to install.
And even show Play Store again.
Just need to mess with what works and dont in User data.
-Edit-
I tried to Make LatinIME Smaller and convert it to Userdata in the build options but every build has no keyboard support.

Is there anyway you can post the updater-scipt from one of the builds you've made with OOne ROM Editor where you've modified the LatinIME.apk and specified to install as a User App? The updater-script is located in the /META-INF/com/google/android folder in the output/build ROM.
One thing to note tho, build options are reset after every build.

I noticed that it resets everytime. so i been ontop of that. I check both boxes in the build options before I build them.
I did read also not to delete LatinME.apk. and use the editor. But i know the LatinME is a nice chunk of Memory.
So to make it smaller and usable in User apps is plus to make the important things I need working.
-Edit-
I haven't been saving the bad builds. that attachment was for a new build I haven't tried yet.
and I just did. now keyboard working. But I think that build I didn't tell it to put Latin in User apps that time.
But I did use the editor. So I don't know.

I can't tell what you installed as user apps from the updater-script, but there were apps installed to the user ( data ) partition. And the assert() statement is missing from the script, so I know that option was checked in the Build Options.
The reason I say not to manually move it is because the LatinIME Keyboard Editor should be used to edit it's dictionaries. Once you press the "Apply" button in the LatinIME Keyboard Editor, it removes the LatinIME.apk from System Apps and actually puts it in the apps Recycle Bin. I use the list of files in the Recycle Bin as a filter of files not to include when building the ROM. LatinIME Keyboard Editor also looks in the Recycle Bin for the LatinIME.apk if it can't find it in System Apps but it assumes that it's deleted so it won't do anything.
I am actually working on OOne ROM Editor right now. So you can be on the lookout for an update

Well I got everything to work. Keyboard, Play Store, etc. But not sure ill stick with trying to put JB on the phone.
Its really slow. Unless more free space on the system partition would allow it to run faster.
Would your OOne ROOM Editor work on Any rom Like a CM7 Rom? or just JB ones? if not would you consider support for other roms?
I haven't tried, but figure I would ask.

OOne ROM Editor is just for ICS and JB ROMs. It's really not needed for Android versions prior to 4.0.
