Excellent idea! I was hoping someone would do this.
I'll load it up this morning and let you know if I see any issues!

Ahhh perfect, I was poking around to see what I would need to do to bring the multitouch browser to H (I already have the Voice Search and Dialer) and I find this. Thank's dude.

Hmmmm sounds tempting, but how does the speed compare to adp hr3?

Not 100% sure, but this loads faster on mine. I "overclock" to slow to save battery haha but I didn't notice a difference running hr3. I've been going back and forth trying to get what I need. The blue lock screen overlay is actually the MAIN reason I am doing this. Stupid, huh?
Key factor may be that I DID update the radio.
I did leave out superuser, spare parts, and anything else that can be installed normally for those who don't want them. I change my mind about apps hourly so I try to keep default installs as clean as possible to avoid troublesome adb commands.

This sounds very intersting. Does it include the Exchange integration from the 5.0H build?

This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for... soon as you get locked down which apps ur keeping, I'm on it.

Sounds great twisted. I'm in love with 5.0.2H because of the mail app and pdfviewer. Yesterday I stepped up to ADP1.5 and although it was fast, it's missing these key components that I use daily. I look forward to you app log.

This is really interesting. I can't wait to hear(read) thee results. Lol

It currently has the 5.0.2 exchange. I saw no point in taking it out. I don't use it but I know it's far easier to remove system components like that than it is to implement them once an update is installed.
So far I see no real difference in Gmail. Mail seems to crash for me in 1.5 with something about a Plus account - looks like 5.0.2 mail stays. Maps and Market will be updated because I see no reason not to.
Any thoughts on Gmail? Anyone see any updates worth having?

Can you put the H build camera in the build instead of the 1.5.3 camera? The HTC camera was far superior than the google implementation. That's all I can think of so far

H camera crashed when using the camera button. The one I'm using is the one from the "add features to 5.0.xH" thread. Seems to be the most stable and all you really lose is zoom. Forgot to take out additional HTCAlbum, though. Planning to fix this and some other updates when I get back to my hideout. If I can remap the H camera button I will get that in there, but that takes a little longer than just swapping apks.

Please allow me time to obtain all the information I need (and the conmplimentary copy of Paragon) before I begin posting parallel versions for those of you that require a2sd. Until then I am taking the advice of a pm and adding in the black vk. It is "slick"
Please feel free to follow me on twitter at the same name. Much as I have followed the trend of making one for such an endeavor.
Please excuse the fact that I edit my posts almost immediately. I view them from my G1 and while the logic may be flawed, I find them cleaner when words do not hang loosely into additional lines.

This was for those, like me, that liked the original look and feel of the Haykuro 5 series builds and didn't want to miss out on the new features of the 1.5 series builds. My own firmware is very custom so no screenshots currently.

Please let me know if you test this and find any bugs. I know altering updates MAY cause items to crash when installed. I will fix them ASAP.
Currently in the process of checking out Dude's Cupcake to see if anything in there might improve the build.

any chance you could add the launcher in from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507244 Or does this now not have the problem when you slide out the keybord? Because im currently running an old version of this rom i think? I had to install G keybord my self so.. Almost deff :L lol, Oh dont meen to be fussy but ayway you you edit the title of the thread whenever you update? only this seems a very intrsting build as i tooo love the HTC look and dont wanna loose the feel exactly cheers for your work dude

everything seems to work. not seeing the multi-touch...suppose to be there right. not a big deal, just testing out the version.

How is this going?
Still developing the build?
Looks great, and appears to fit me perfectly!
However, what is the difference between the two builds that you link to in your first post?
Is the 5.0.2hr5-twisted.zip the normal version, while the 5.0.2hr5a-twisted.zip is the Apps2SD version?

Sorry apps2sd is still coming. Having technical difficulties with getting both my G1 and computer to recognize the same partitions. The new version has the Andreoid keyboard included along with updates to youtube, maps, and market. The slider problem still exists for a day or two. Wanted to get the new market in place because I isolated the market download issue to have been cooperation between market and launcher. Now that the new market accepts downloads I can fix launcher. Expect updates tomorrow. I have a 4-hour block of boredom. Hehe.

Still isolating libs and such. JesusFreke redid the kernel so the program alone was not enough. Didn't think that far ahead when I was throwing parts together. I'm learning as I tear apart the 7 builds on my desktop. I just have to teach myself as I go.
Open source never meant well-documented.
Plans are in the works to go backwards from the HTC build, but like most others I need something to default back to when I'm not testing. Building this version was first priority with that being my next step. That is when the speed increases will occur with some new features. Can't say I'm not a dreamer, right?

Hey DEVS, I found something....something to help our HERO's right now

So I've been noticing that after a certain amount of use my Hero eventually slows down to the point where typing on the keyboard is frustrating because of the slow response. I did some searching and I came across this online
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3453
since I'm no where near the level of a dev, I figured I'd put this out there and see if anyone can make heads or tails of it, and possibly create a signed-zip so we can just use the update feature in the recovery screen to flash it to our system.
Seems legit as a fix, and apparently this was something that was a known problem with Android 1.5 that I guess has been fixed with 2.0.
Any Dev help would be hot.

Excellent. Thank you for tracking that down.
The TL;DNR explanation: Location services are causing multiple "heartbeats" on the phone all on top of each other. One guy counted as many as 253 in 5 seconds. This consumes the CPU. I will look at the patch.

Would disabling location services be a temporary fix?

Yes. We're pretty close to 2.1 though so shouldn't need more then that.

ive seen this problem too but not until recently, it lags the phone and drains the battery amazingly fast.

I'm taking a wait and see approach on the 2.1 progress right now, what's there looks very promising but without the camera, accel., & (for me anyway because I do have alot of apps that i use) a2sd, I'm content with Fresh 1.0, just wanna get help get that issue solved cuz I'm sure I'm not the only one who is experiencing it.
PS: I know I said I have alot of apps, but I know that's not the cause because the same thing happened when I did a wipe and just left things "stock" with Fresh Rom 1.0 for a few days

If they got the accel and wifi tether working, I'd make the jump to 2.1, but I need the accel for work, and the wifi tether for internet.

What app can be used to show the system_server process? I use task manager but it isn't listed. I want to monitor this process.
Also, does anyone know about the patch? How Do you apply it?

1) I can't answer the first question. I just took the advice here and turned all location services off. My phone is back to its snappy self. The only way I'm really impacted by having to do this right now (I'm sure I'll use this phone for more after 2.1) is using google maps. I already kept GPS off when I wasn't using it but having to go into the settings and allow Location Setting before using gmaps is a PITA.
2) I know very little about android and ROM DEV but think the "patch" is programming code, only useful to people who know how to read and write it.

RoboTop???

You can use DDMS from the Android SDK toolkit to monitor processes running on the phone. Should be able to pull up a process list from there.
Now, I'm using Locale but not with Location settings for my different profiles. I also have Location settings turned on for use with Google Maps as well as the HTC Flip Clock / Beautiful Widgets Home. Surprisingly, my system_server process is sitting at 0% right now, and the phone has been on for over a day. Both DDMS and running "top -n 1" in the adb shell confirm this. If there's much of a change over the day, I'll be sure to let you know. So, it's possible that HTC found and fixed this issue with their SenseUI CDMA 1.5 build. Unlikely, but possible.

So I was seeing this issue even with the modified services.jar from that thread. Granted I didn't test it very long and it was only maxing out at 1%, but it was enough for me to feel that it wasn't working.
I have since removed HTC's location service. After rebooting it looks as if because the phone couldn't find HTC's service anymore it installed the stock one. Time to see if it makes any difference.

with my BB for example there was an application which rebooted your phone at a custom time that u have set .. is there an application that can be used to do the same with the hero? ... reboot device while u are sleeping.. so it runs nice and quick for u the next day?

On the Fresh ROM thread I thought you said that it was using 16% previously... and is this an issue that's apparent immediately or is it something that gets worse with time?
Any chance of including the modified services.jar in the next release even if it doesn't immediately appear to make a difference? I mean, if it's not crashing things and is supposed to be an improvement, then why not stick it in there, right?

Just read nearly that entire chain of messages. now somebody (fresh, ima callin you out!) dooo eeeet!

What's the word on progress for this in Fresh ROM? I have found it to be a very significant issue for me (and apparently so has my roommate), as I use location services quite a lot. GMaps being most in particular, but some other apps as well (Aloqa, Sprint Navigation). I'm really glad there's a workaround that doesn't involve a reboot!

I looked at the other link and I have downloaded both the services.jar file and the LocationManagerService.patch. Which one should I apply and do I apply it? I am having problems with this now.

The bug is that it gets worse over time. I can include it for sure. I believe the reason it's not working is because our hero's code is all stored in services.odex, not services.jar. And I haven't been able to deodex that file yet. But I'll include it regardless because it can't hurt.

I'm working on testing whether disabling HTC's location service will fix our issue. However with the release of the kitchen I was rebooting my phone non-stop. Impossible for me to know if it was working or not.

The patch is designed to apply to the source, so that won't help you. The services.jar would replace the one that's already there.

turning off location has been a dramatic difference in speed. its obvious theres something to that. it would get so bad the whole phone would lag

[ROM] DamageControl v1.0 - Sense 2.1 w/video rec - LIGHTNING FAST! - 100% complete!

DamageControl Sense 2.1 ROM - Espresso optional! - 100% complete!
PLEASE READ THIS POST BEFORE YOU POST!!!
This ROM is now 100% for a reason! Please read below!
Why is this 100%
There is a fix for *nearly* every problem - just search the thread!
For things there isn't a fix for, there is a workaround that works better
The rest of the problems are problems that cannot be fixed until there is a better leak, we get our hands on the source of the kernel, or Sprint releases something. However, it should be noted that the problems are extremely minimal. Microscopic, even.
EVERYTHING IN THIS ROM IS FUNCTIONAL/SIZE]
There are workarounds to nearly everything. Things that cannot be fixed are problems with the leak itself. There is really no reason not to upgrade to this ROM as far as functionality is concerned - problems are MICROSCOPIC!!! If you believe the Sprint update really is going to come in two weeks, go ahead and use this ROM now! Changing to the official one will be easy!
This thread is 225+ pages long, you CAN and WILL find a fix to find a fix if you look for it!!!
Installation Steps:
-Download whichever ROM you want between Espresso or Normal (Decaf?)
-Rename the file to update.zip and flash like you would any other ROM. Note: it may be a good idea to wipe EVERYTHING!!! You MUST flash if you are coming from a different ROM.
If the ROM fails to boot, wipe your ext partition!!!
To get Apps2SD (Applications are stored on your SD card - must be partitioned!
-PARTITION YOUR SD CARD
MMS Problems?:
-If you have MMS problems, download this: http://damageless.kingspond.com/signed-mms-fix.zip
-Rename to update.zip and flash it to your phone.
-NOTE THAT HANDCENT WILL NOT SEND MMS!!! THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE CAN FIX!!!
Other reported problems:
-Handcent will not send MMS. This is a problem with every 2.1 ROM and is not something that we can fix.
Tethering:
-Wifi tether is included.
-If you refuse to tether using wifi, you can use EasyTether Lite or something similar that is available in the Market.
Worse signal?
-You do not have a worse signal because of this ROM. It has less bars at the top.
Apps force closing all the time?
-Boot into recovery, go to Other and select the Fix UID option.
Invalid authentication with Google
-There is something wrong that is fairly deep, but it is a problem with the leak of the Eris 2.1 ROM. This only happens when you have a message or voicemail waiting.
Voicemail notification
-Go into the menu, then go to settings, click the call menu and then click Clear Voicemail Notification. Also make sure you change the voicemail service number to your own number!!!
Visual Voicemail
Use Google Voice or Youmail. We need something from Sprint to get Visual Voicemail to work.
Battery Life
Your battery life shouldn't change much. If you are experiencing problems, try the 'airplane mode' fix, and check your CDMA PRL settings.
Other Problems?:
-Try rebooting.
-If that doesn't work, backup your device through nandroid and then wipe everything!
-Search, then post. There are over 1,000 posts here, most likely someone has experienced the same problem as you.
SEARCH THE THREAD!!!
FAQ
Why won't Handcent send MMS?
Because it is an incompatibility issue.
Why can't I send MMS?
Because either you are not on Sprint or you need to apply the fix.
What is the difference between Espresso and the normal version?
Check the screenshots.
What about Visual Voicemail?
Until we get something from Sprint, this won't work. However, you can use Google Voice or you can use Youmail. Both work great.
My Google Voice doesn't work!
Use version 0.20 to fix it.
Bank of America, other apps don't work
Looking into this problem...
Superuser shows up blank
Make sure you have debug mode on.
What's Next for this ROM?:
I will continue to update this ROM with small fixes and things that are nice, but I consider this fully functional. I am going to work on smaller things that will enhance the ROM a bit. This isn't the last update!
About this ROM:
I decided to make this ROM after some other ROMs just weren't working out for me. Things were far too buggy, didn't seem to work very well, and it all seemed a little clunky. I decided that I would try to combine the best of the ROMs, not doing it the typical way (by just combining stuff I like), but by combining things to make it functional. This ROM is meant to be fast, stable and reliable. I will not add things that will load down the system or kill battery life.
I decided on the name (with help) because of the recent problems on XDA. The community was not united, and I thought the best way to unite everyone was to bring in a new ROM with a new vision and focus. This ROM has been incredibly successful in this way, thanks to those who started this ROM's thread out the right way. I believe we have a lot of good spirit here and we can continue with the attitude of helping one another and helping one another out, all personal interests aside.
I hope that you enjoy this ROM and find that it suits your needs.
Make sure you wipe if you are coming from a different ROM!!!
Microscopic quirks:
Trackball light intermittent
Asks you to log in when you have some type of message waiting
Special thanks goes to Avalaunchmods, gbhil, flipz, and everybody who has helped out and to every community member who has been supportive and uplifting! Each of you have helped in your own ways, and that is the essence of a true community.

I am usually not someone who asks for donations, however I am getting married soon and it certainly wouldn't hurt. You can donate whatever by clicking here. I strongly believe in open source and in developers working together towards a common good. I hope you all enjoy the ROM and that we can build this together.

Check your thread. I got your Rom this morning and loved it except there were too many bugs. I don't mean any disrespect. I will probably switch to your ROM when you get it worked out.

Good intentions, but way to burn the person responsible FOR EVERYTHING IMPORTANT WORKING! In the future try to not offend the real devs.
All that aside, I'll give it a try and let you know what I find.

ADB works fine as long as you have the latest HTC Drivers from the HTC Sync software install and you set your phone to HTC Sync mode.

- Twidroid
- ChompSMS

Nice!

Why would people even make any 2.1 roms after flipz roms?

damageless said:
Alright, all I have done is taken some things from the gumbo ROM and the Fresh ROM to make a fully functional (as far as I can tell), 2.1 Sense UI ROM, signed it, and here it is for someone else.
I'm not sure if this will be useful to anyone or not. I will not maintain this ROM as I do not take any credit for doing anything other than combining some files and signing it. I am also going to modify a few things to get it working a little better and tweak it a bit, but it isn't something I plan on maintaining.
The only reason I did this was because I was very disappointed in the ROM that flipzmode released because of how many things he broke trying to do his own thing. I was hoping he would release something functional before he decided to go mod everything but oh well.
The one thing I have noticed is that ADB doesn't recognize the device. This probably has something to do with the kernel but like I said, I'm not providing support for this, just providing the resource. I'm sure something better will be released soon, but what the heck.
Again, I am not taking credit for anything here. Please donate to those who created the ROMs.
I should mention that I haven't tried visual voicemail and I am guessing it isn't working. Not sure if we have to wait for Sprint to come out with something or not.
I should mention that I have gotten Sprint TV to work on this, I'm not sure why other people are having problems. However, if you want Sprint TV, then you should simply copy the apk from your old ROM to the new one.
I will also update this to include apps2sd tomorrow. Also maybe get adb working. - I don't consider these to tools to be something that people use on a day-to-day basis which is why I call this fully-functioning. I also haven't fully tested everything, but as far as I can tell, everything works.
It is nice to have camera and video recording, though. All apps seem to show up in the Market. It does show Verizon stuff, and I need to make sure everything is on Sprint, but I will update it tomorrow to be a bit better. This is just a quick release. I will clean it up a bit, add some things to make it more functional and then release a better version.

Would you mind listing what exactly works I'm this Rom that did not work in Fresh 2.0b?
I am a little confused as to what exactly this Rom contains, and what gap you are attempting to fill by posting it.

What can Androidiani do for you or me?

So a fair amount of people are using Androidiani Open Recovery, myself included now, but I have a few questions about it. Namely what everything does. In the menu there are all sorts of things to do and use, but I am not sure what they actually do. I know about memhack, kernal optimization and zipalign, but what about all the other Froyo mods and tweaks in there?
For some reason, I can't attach a screen shot to this, but some of them are Istall Mod -conservative/interactive, Memory manager, vm heap size,...

The most helpful feature of AOR is the possibility to check the sd card. No need to plug the card to the pc for checks.
I also use zipalign after restoring my apps in a new rom.
With the adblock script you can update the host file to prevents ads in apps or in browser.

So, the one thing about Androidiani is that it's developed by A853 users, so I've never touched the baseband utilities out of fear it will do something bad.

It's nice to have access to system apps to get rid of what I don't want (or pull out a system apk) after a new flash. I also keep a copy of the latest system apps as a theme so after a new flash I can just apply the "theme" & have all the current versions of Maps, Facebook, etc.
I've never tried the kernel optimization because I wasn't' sure if I should use the froyo or the eclair as we still have the eclair kernel.

I know better than that. Baseband messing is Badddd! I am more interested in the Memory tweaks and things like that.

I tried the one for Froyo and not sure if it worked or not but let's just say it didn't "screw" anything up (as far as I know). I did have to re-root though and re-allow all the superuser permissions and overclock again. But as far as performance, it didn't hinder anything and it might be a plecebo effect, but I feel it is somewhat more stable. Could be in my head though.
Mioze7Ae ~ This is one of those times I was talking about in the SUperoneclick question where I had to use Unversal Androot and it worked just fine.

They don't work, neither does that fix permissions stop force close just bricks the phone...
ZipAlign works fine though...

Fix permission will work if it was a permission problem.

Got a question about this. After a few weeks of flashing the special, Wanhu, CM6...I noticed that AOR wouldn't let me flash update.zips for some reason. Awhile ago, I had this problem and either 3rdstring or Mz advised me to reinstall AOR. I did and everything worked. Now that the the CM6 is out and primarily done through updated.zips, I found a problem again. When AOR installs, it loads up a bunch of pix that show up in my media gallery. If I leave them in there, I can use the update.zip just fine. If I delete these pix, then it creates the problem that will not let me use that function. I can probably put a .nomedia in there somewhere, but not sure where. Has anyone else had this problem. It is AOR 3.3 in case you are wondering.

I read through this thread a week back. Im now using Androidiani with stock CB 2.1 Could anyone please guide me to which optimizations to use with 2.1, how they work and what works on our XT720? I would really appretiate it thanks!

What I have used is the Zipalign, obviously the wipes and resets, the fix permissions works really well (especially when flashing in between ROMs), Mchlbenner uses the Overclock settings. Haven't used anything in the memory settings like VM heap or anything like that.
Probably the things I use the most are in the menu utilities and the SD and SD-ext scans to make sure card is working. I usually do this before I flash a ROM and then once after I boot up totally. Seems redundant but it has saved me a card before b/c of a bad partition.
Mioze added a script for link2sd/app2ext (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177020&page=61) sorry don't know how to put just a plain "here" and have the link embedded.
If you use any of the modding menus, use the Eclair one b/c it is based off the kernal version. I know that 3rdstring uses AOR quite often to apply apps and such. May want to ask him about setting that up.

That's more of a WIP for discussion. The ROM has to support it (and none do yet).

My bad. Sorry about that one MZ.
Sohrab ~ forgot to mention to stay away fro mthe baseband settings. Pretty sur ethis will mess your stuff up if you don't know what you are doing with it. Better left alone (for now).

No problem. I think it's time we start creating our own baseband files for XT720. I've been poking around inside the Androidiani ones. I think they're just updates that only mess with the /system partition, so maybe worst case your phone stops working with the network until you get the right baseband back in. I think I know where to extract files from the SBFs to create our own, so we should be able to start making some XT720 specific ones.

I think the hosts file in the adblock is way old by now. At least it seems I start to get ads every few weeks and have to install a new hosts file. I just hosed my phone so I can't check, but I think AdFree is the app I use for that.

I already made baseband update for our phone. I used one from androidian and replace our files with theirs.

I figured out the maps issue. Apparently the new version of google maps has 3D maps and wasn't avaibable in my country. I just used market enabler and downloaded it. Lol its stupid, I mean dont let someone update just because of country they live in? Ill wont have 3D at home, but I can use it if i travel abroad. Anyways!

I use adfree too but the recent update screwed everything up. I just revert to previous build using TB and it still works for me. If I can pull that one out ill pm you with it, since not thread relavent. Btw ads in Angry Birds are embedded in software, so adfree wont work for some reason. Check adfree's review in market and they tell you why.

Has anyone used the compress option when making a back up? It is there, but I wonder what it will do? Does it function properly? I seem to remember reading something about compressing ad back up and it get corrupted or something like that but I can't remember when or where I read it.
What functionality does the Compress back up do (and please do say something like "it makes it smaller")? Does it work?

[Zip][Script][SS][NI2][Extreme Debloater][The PURGE v1]

The PURGE
Since I am patiently waiting for Lollipop to come out for our device, I decided to make a flashable debloat script which will be called "The PURGE."
I have had many requests to continue development for my ROM and found it easier to make this vs. maintaining a ROM. With that being said, I will be making other versions of the script but wanted to start off with a bang with an EXTREME debloat script!​
Disclaimer:​
I am not responsible if your phone blows up! This script will remove anything listed below if it is on the device. If it is not on the device it will not do anything! Therefore, if you use something that's listed to be removed, then do NOT complain. I am sure there are many on here that can help you get the one or few things you do use back on the device without a problem as well as a lot of the applications can be installed from the Play Store or simply taken from a stock (non debloated) ROM.

-/system/lost+found (Usually deleted by Devs anyways, not sure what it is but not needed)
-/system/etc/secure_storage/com.sec.knox.store (Knox related, usually also removed by ROM devs by default)
-/system/tima_measurement_info (Not sure but not needed)
Keep in mind since this initial version is the most extreme, using it can and will render things such as UPSM and SHealth to not work similar to my Extreme Syndicate ROM.
If you find anything on your device that isn't already removed please let me know so I can add it to the script! I will also be updating it as I go and as I find more things to remove.
I do not have a estimate, but I would imagine what is removed with this script will remove 600-700+ MB from the ROM itself! I have tested on Ricks Rom v19.5 and system RAM is down to ~800mb which has basically freed up about 1gb of system RAM which in turn allows for a smoother faster and leaner device!
This did take some time.. Of course I already had a strong idea of what to remove based on the work that I've already done with Extreme Syndicate but the script had to be typed up manually with each application/file as well as I had to do a clean install more than once to find some straggling applications before I got it to how I wanted it!
All I ask is that you at least hit the thanks button and if you can spare some change don't be afraid to donate!
Eventually I will be making specific debloat scripts to remove certain applications such as only removing Verizon bloatware, or only removing Samsung bloatware etc. I am also messing around with Android Studio to hopefully one day be able to make an application that is device specific that will automate the process by selecting it in an actual application. This would sort of be like an Aroma installer except an application that you can run on the phone while its booted up and no need for recovery.
As always, thanks for trying out The PURGE and let me know what you think of it!
Install Instructions:​
1) Download the Zip file
2)This should work on any stock ROM! (If the files aren't there to be removed it shouldn't do anything at all. I recommend to do a clean install, let phone boot up and then go into recovery and flash it. This is because it does remove the setup wizards so it's recommended you set the phone up first and then reboot to recovery and flash the script.)
3) Boot into recover and flash the Zip
4) Done!

yea, figured id make a list lol. i did leave in clocks, calculators, calendars etc... theres also more hidden stuff i can remove but that is the bulk of it..
the sounds, launchers n some of the apks are large as well and there are 3rd party apps that are smaller in size but that is where a rom is more suitable lol
Im alsothinking about making it so it will add build.prop tweaks n other stuff but thats later down the road lol

Glad your still highly active in the forums and churning out some goodies....

Looks nice trying this on optimal as I type this

let us know how it goes! I think most stuff removed shouldnt affect much on other ni2 roms.. might however on eclipse which is highly modified.. or alliance.. long as they dont use any of the removed apps listed here for anything major then it should b good
I also was making a rom (Extreme Syndicate v2.5) but on first boot the toggles wouldnt come up and settings button from drop down didnt work (works from settings in app drawer).. so i gotta figure that out when i have time.. unless of course misterxtc or someone knows how to fix it then i can upload it and have thread reopened.. it has much the same as v2.1 (not themed) but call lag issue is gone lol it mistve been something i removed from system folder.. its around 500mb in size since i left some stuff in this go around

So far no issues, fc's anythi MG of that nature. Optimal is running somewhat smoother than it already does and definitely nice to be under the 200 system app mark now as I was unsure of some things to remove. No complaints here so far

yea it flash in a split second too lol

It took maybe a quarter of a second to flash hahaha. I was impressed lol

Thank you so much Elliwigy! I was one of the people asking for this! Haha. My only question is - On Extreme Syndicate I had some issues connecting to my PC as an MTP device/being able to plug in and view it as a drive to easily drag & drop files to and fro. Should I expect anything like that from this script or no?
You're the best! Now for the black&white... lol

Nope.. it doesnt remove the mtp like the rom did so plugging it in a pc should work out the box

Thanks for making this elliwigy. Is there a way to edit what is deleted? I tried changing the updater-script but when I went to flash it said something about the binary not working.
I wanted to leave the google stuff (I know I could re-download it but I figured why not leave it) and I really wanted to keep the emergency alert stuff (cmas). I figure the emergency alert is good to have, in case of an emergency

All you really would need to do is from a pc open the zip using 7zip and then go to the updater script, right click and press edit.. remove the line you want to keep then go to file and save.. it will ask you again to save in zip and say yes.. it should work.. ive had issues trying to edit updater scripts on the phone if thats what u tried

Thanks for the 7zip tip. I previously extracted the zip, edited the script, and then remade the zip. Something didn't work right, but the method you mentioned did. Thanks!

was hoping there would be a list of removed apps for the "perfect debloat" eventually. thanks for the post up. This helps with rom creation as well
Although, does this cause the issue I was having with Extreme Syndicate about not having the multi tasking work at all? softbuttons and hardware bring up no multi tasking for me

yea.. edit the zip and exclude the multiwindowtrayservice from the updater script or simply add it back to rom if u use it..
not really an issue since i do not use multiwindow at all as do a lot of people i consider it bloat lol

cool wasnt sure the apk because id tried adding it back once and it didnt fix it lol
also if you want to go to the max there's about 20 more lib files you can remove that equal out to around 70 megs. i'll try to get a list together
