I want to create an original ROM (Or download if it is already available), the Google Nexus Original 4.4.4 Rom with all Google Stuff Subtracted from it. I don't want it rooted and want to root it myself.
How is this possible? Is there any link from where this can be downloaded?
Just download a rom zip, stock would be best, and extract out the apk's you don't want from system/app and system/pri-app. Then re-zip it.

or find a stock rom that has gapps separate and dont flash the gapps
This one is made by the dev who makes the Rastakat rom (rascarlo). It's built from AOSP source and contains no theming or add-on features other than a few AOSP apps like email.
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rastakat&device=hammerhead-vanilla
Or.. Build from source, look at release tags to sync/build specific Android versions.
Just like the others said, get a rom and just take the google stuff out of it.
You could download a rom that's completely stock and delete the GApps out of it before flashing
Turn your phone off and ta-da! :thumbup:

Without any Google Apps.... You'll have no play store. That's the only issue I see. And no contacts sync, calendar sync, voice commands and text to speech. Or properly functioning location services.... I think. ?

GPS location would still work, but coarse location would not. You could use an alternative app store like Amazon or Slideme.
I think you could make it workable, but it would be a looooot of trouble. Neat as an experiment, but if you're doing it "on principle" I would suggest a different OS.
Not so much of an experiment really. Its just flashing an AOSP ROM then not the Gapps. People have done it before, so hardly unknown territory

well, its not only not flashing the gapps, there are services involved as well. but it has been done before, i know because i helped someone do it 2 years ago. he ended up building aosp, removing the services, and adding other services from i dont remember where.
Building aosp doesn't include google services. Flashing an aosp ROM and not flashing gapps will accomplish exactly what the op wants.
#stayparanoid
I hope you are aware of freezing applications like google's. Also there are mini gapps not full ones.

UPDATE:
I have posted a beta to see if you guys like it it was built from CM and AOSP sources. I just have to compile kernel and change lockscreen.

I was thinking the same thing.
OP You should start with aosp source and fix that if you want as pure as google android as you can get.
By the way you your picture you have up there is not stock launcher it's adw launcher. And the rotary lock screen is not stock either. Sorry.
Sent from my Incredible using Tapatalk
I have the stock launcher installed in this version that screenshot is old. The Google lockscreen is included but not set as default ( trying to learn how to do this). I have remove Most of the CM stuff except for somethings i need to learn ( edit settings.apk to remove The CM settings ( which will not open when clicked on). All the apps on this rom come from a aosp rom for the DroidX( except for Terminal, Rom Manager, and File Explorer (which is very useful). All traces that i can remove so far have been removed.
haha dicks, just rippin him apart and the rom hasnt even been out for a day LOL
I applaud the effort. Congrats on your first rom and look forward to see the improvement. As far as removing apps, one thing I do is find it in Titanium then see what the file is named, then you can remove it out of the app folder.
Like stated above, you should work with a pure aosp base and you won't have to worry about any of that CM7 stuff. In my opinion, I think aosp is about as smooth as it gets when it comes to UI. I'm sure people would love to have a pure aosp ROM around here since there aren't any yet that I'm aware of.
Good luck with everything and if you need any help just ask.
I'll give a shot. I love loading new roms. Thanks and good luck.
The problem is that I remove CMparts.apk and cyanogenMod settings is still in my settings menu (like a ghost menu ( it won't open). I need someway to edit setting.apk to remove this from the settings menu but im not skilled enough to do this any help would be apreciated.
Also The RenderFX widget is unable to be found (If someone has a location or what file it is in please tell me)
tell me how it is please!!!!!
OP There is a lot more to removing cm then you are thinking. Cm is not just the addition off apps but also modification of all what is android. If you want aosp start with aosp

Building from source ie. google. You can google ginger bread aosp and it will bring up this or from Git. You are going to have to build a kernel from source as well. You take the drivers that inspire already has. Its alot of trial and error to see what works and what doesn't.
Is there anywhere that has all the information necessary to build a rom compiled into one handy area?

Did you previously have wallet installed? Try flashing a different kernel for Clean Rom because the features wallet uses must be baked into the kernel.
Yeah I had it installed on the stock rom. I'll try flashing it with a different kernel. Since I didn't select touchwiz when installing Clean Rom, I'm assuming the touchwiz version of the newer Wallet won't work.. right?

Running it on 11/06 CM10 nightly, no issues noticed, aside from the known camcorder issues. The keyboard is pretty cool!
Jesus. That gapps is twice the size of the 4.1.2 gapps and larger than my entire ROM+kernel+modem.
Currently running on CM10 Nov 11 nightly, and I'm having an issue with the clock/timer. When I'm running a timer I am told it stops working any time I leave the app, either by switching to another or just hitting the Home key. Opening up the timer again shows that it is still running. I've also had issues with the phone locking up while sleeping, but I'm not sure if that's related yet.
Any thoughts?

Just had a question. Every time I update my nightly build, I have to reflash the android 4.2 apps (gmail won't be there). Is this normal or does it have to do with how I put the gmail.apk in /system/app after a flash?
You could do what I've done, make your own gapps. Put the Gmail apk into the gapps zip. Start with an existing gapps zip, open (not extract) it, navigate to system/app, delete the files you want to replace and drag/drop the new files to replace them.
Pretty easy if you ask me. I've managed to make a gapps zip that replaces the system font, copies all of the necessary libs for dsp manager, flashes a multi-dpi play store, and flashes some inverted apps that I want. Pm me if you want some tips.

Yes, you should be able to remove things you don't want and add things that you do (be aware, there are some config changes that need to be made if you want to install anything to /data).
I adjusted my gapps file last night to include some of the 4.2 apps, but I'm getting a clock FC every time I reboot, which is strange. I will have to take a step back and add only what I really want for now.
What is what?

What exactly is included in the two links you copied? The first is KDH's gapps package, and the latter is Google Wallet? But when we follow the link to the original post in the GNex forum, the OP also includes "INVERTED 4.2 GAPPS + AROMA BY justin860" which seems to contain far more *and* is inverted?
I'm just trying to understand because I've never flashed anything but the basic 4.1 gapps with CM10, but I'd really like to try the 4.2 stuff and would prefer dark/inverted (for battery life and the sake of my eyes). But I'm confused by the plethora of gapps offerings, even just those in the Gnex post.
Honestly, I don't know what is included. I was just copying the download links to paste here so everyone knew it was available.
Can you screen shot the 4.2 keyboard? what are the added advantages of this new keyboard that 4.1 doesn't do?

I've never used Swype so I can't comment on that. I do like the 4.2 keyboard. I've used TouchPal as well, and I own SwiftKey (haven't seen the SwiftKey swipe version yet), I find them all to be comparable.
Oh swipe is the new thing, I never got into swiping it just seems lazy to me. I use Perfect Keyboard Pro so I can set it up in dvorak layout. It's either that or I talk.

I use CyanDelta app from Playstore. when nightlies are released, it only downloads the pieces I need (avg. 6 to 12 mb). then in CyanDelta settings, you can configure any zip's you want to flash after update. I flash my kernel (kk .12) and this gapps package, minus Chrome.
it really works amazing.
- notifies when nightly is available
- reboots into recovery, installs update
- then installs any additional zips
- then reboots and away you go.
I install every nightly, have had no RR or SOD.
just my two cents.

Has anyone made these inverted? I know they're recent release but I figured I'd ask.

Hi. Just installed this and I like it. A few others have been having issues with chrome and location services causing soft reboots and really bad stability. This ROM does not have that problem. I tried first with the full PA gapps and had issues with Google search and the Google calendar FC. Wiped and clean installed and used the Banks gapps. All is good now.
Gonna go install the Elemental X kennel now.
Thanks for the ROM.

HI @jakdillard . First off thanks for the great AOSP ROM. Glad to see more entries. I have a question not about the ROM because its excellent for me but ever since the AOSP ROMs started coming out, some of us have noted a recurring problem with many of them. @scrosler maintains a AOSP ROM which is afflicted. @ctfrommn does too for some of us. The main problem we have is that when we load these ROMs on our Nexus 7 wifi editions and visit pages which request access to locations like www.google.com, www.yahoo.com or others, the chrome browser crashes and for me it causes a soft reboot. If we just stick to the aosp ROM after some bit of time the AOSP browser also gets very unstable and will start crashing no matter how much cleaning, clearing, etc we do. @scrosler had documented some of this and we've collaborated a bit trying to figure out why this happens. On rasbean, carbon, your ROM, and a few others it does not happen.
I am hoping perhaps you could share some knowledge and let us know any commits, if you saw this behavior before you put the ROM up and did something to fix it. Any info at all would be very helpful. I'd love to be able to see this fixed and get the other ROMs working.

Very well put. I build rom's from aosp for myself. I am, of course, running into the same issues. Clearly there is something being added by Google that doesn't exist in aosp to make Google location services work. Obviously this rom has it. With the support of the aosp apps being slowly phased out in favor of Google apps, we are going to need a patch in order to be able to make a fully functional rom. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I have to look over those other roms sources to see what they are missing more the likely they don't have the location services pointing to the right adapter or still using the old way of making device trees causing make to not put the overlays together correctly.

Just wondering if anyone else is getting the keyboard every time you hit the home button coming form another app? Not a big deal, just curious.
Thanks!

I just double tap the home button. It's less annoying.
Love Jack's creations. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.
Hi,
I decided to post my own topic and not in the CM11 thread, because this is probably not a CM11 issue. As you know, the Nexus S has only 512MB of RAM including video. Mine has been having quite a lot of slowdowns (apps refreshes/restarts) for the past weeks. I am wondering what I could do to help it and avoid buying a new phone (no money and I still love that phone).
However now, there are few things that I can't do anymore.
- I can't listen to BeyondPod (podcasts) and receive/send SMS in Hangout. There's not enough RAM to run both apps and even when I am listening to BeyondPod, the SMS alert might not trigger when a SMS is received. This happens in few apps here and there.
- Sometimes, someone calls me and the screen stays black so I can't answer. Again, this is due to RAM usage.
- I use SwiftKey as keyboard and it can't take 30-45 seconds to load in some apps such as Chrome.
I am running CM11 Nightlies. I usually update CM11 once per 2 weeks with the lastest Nightly available. I don't wipe the entire configs, I just upgrade. It's been a while since I've wiped everything to be honest. I probably updated CM10 to CM11 without wiping the configs. This might be one thing to try but I am not sure if it would help to regain some RAM/juice. I am running the stock kernel of CM11. I know there are few kernels with a bigmem patch, but does it really work ?
As for launcher, I am running Apex Launcher as well with SwipePad. Greenify runs in the background and hibernate pretty much every apps it can. I don't have the Greenify donation package, so it won't hibernate on the system apps.
I am wondering if wiping everything and installing a stable version of CM11 (or another lighter ROM?) would help. I would use TItanium Backup to reinstall the apps and their settings. I wouldn't use TiB to push the configs of the ROM if CM11 is reinstalled. Would a kernel or ROM with bigmem patch a good idea ?
This would probably be a temporary fix, because apps and ROMs are asking for more and more CPU/RAM these days.
Thanks for any input,
Neo.
A clean flash isn't a bad idea, just backup your rom first.. Backup your apps/ data on your SD with titanium backup and then you can just restore them.. You could try my stable v1.1 script and use Guru (CM kernel with bigmem) or Devil and you will notice the improvement.. Also the CM m9 is a very nice rom.. Happy flashing..

Thanks for your answer Setting.Out.
Before I receive your answer, I did some research on my side as well. It turns out that I have downloaded your ROM (the Farewell edition) and the cn.fyodor AOSP 4.4.3 ROM. I decided to go ahead and install the AOSP ROM instead of yours. I wanted to try AOSP instead of CM, being a CM user for the past 2-3 years. While I was satisfied with the AOSP ROM for the past day or 2, I am now unsure if I will keep it. While performances are good compared to what I was used to, I have some issues. The videos in YouTube are lagging like crazy (although videos in VLC work fine) and the audio stutter sometimes. I listen to a lot of music and each few minutes, it will stutter for a split second. I never had that issue with CM11. Also, I can't find a kernel with bigmem on AOSP. There is the marmite kernel from bedalus which seemed promising, but everyone is having FC with the Google Play Store and BLN/BLD isn't working anymore on this kernel.
How does your ROM compare with CM11 ? I know yours is CM based. Is there less "bloatwares" in yours ? CM install lots of stuff (themes, bugs reporting, etc) and I don't want that. I prefer to use the Xposed Framework instead of a ROM with multiple settings that I don't use. Having a CM based ROM would be nice to be able to flash the Guru kernel.

It basically is CM11, a little less bloated, but similar feature set.. Give it a try, you can always flash another rom if it doesn't suite you.. Slim 5.1 is another favorite of mine, if you'd like to try that one you'll need to search their thread as it wasn't a public release..

Your "Farewell edition" is Kitkat 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 ? So that I can download the appropriate Gapps. I also understand that the Gapps you provide in your thread are a minimal package, so my Nexus S doesn't run out of space (which happened to me few months ago due to the new official Gapps package).
Thanks
