OK! This isn't as simple as it was for BlaY0's ROM. I think the reason is that some people are on nightlies which are stable, so they don't bother using the "official" stable one, or that people use a version that's slightly after 6.1, and could be though of as 6.1.1 (if you have the option for a rotary lockscreen, that's you). This means that frameworks differ slightly, which means I can't a one-zip-for-all type release. There are 2 ways round this:
You make it yourself by going to circle.glx.nl
I do it in a metamorph
I have made a metamorph for the fly-in animation, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10217215&postcount=18
This is kind of in testing, but it should work. Let me know.
this animation work on the stock rom?

Swyped from my HTC Legend
How did you iplemented those window animations?
Did you the Ultimate Online Kitchen? http://circle.glx.nl/
Cause I tried that once but it didn't work :s
Edit: Nevermind, just implemented it in CM 7.0 and it works perfectly
can you do this with bounce animation?
edit:I made it and it functions..in cm 7.0

Yep , even with adb !
This is for CM 6.1
I am on 6.1, with wiped cache and bootloops. A disclaimer would have been nice. I trusted this was tested and functional since it's not in the development section

Well, they are tested on my phone. I've pulled them for now, and I'll try again and test a little more thoroughly.
If you didn't backup you can go grab framework-res.apk from the CM-6.1 zip file that you installed from (if you're anything like me it'll still be on your SD card) and push it back to your device with ADB. If you're S-ON you will need to be in recovery mode. Make sure system is mounted (there's an option for this in the "partitions" menu) That will fix the bootloop issue.
Once again, I'm very sorry about this, I'll look into it and upload amended versions. Or, if you feel like being bold you can make it yourself: circle.glx.nl
EDIT:
Attached is a flashable zip that should get you back to normal I'd still wipe dalvik-cache with this one
EDIT 2:
OP updated with fixed versions
EDIT 3:
Things are still screwed for some people, EDIT 1 has been undone
Yup, thanks for the tip. I pushed it back and its booting fine. Well of course you can't test it on more devices than your own. My post might seem a bit cranky. My bad... Grumpy because of hunger I suppose
But what super-special stuff did you do for it to work on your device?

You're completely entitled to be cranky, I screwed up. Again. Try with the new version I posted in the OP. It should be better. And I tend to do stuff live, without all the flashing of zips, so maybe I missed something the first time 'round. (/system overlay, restarting the android framework and ADB)
Will try in a sec!
Well, S-OFF can cause f***-ups

Ha haa, S-OFF was done AFTER these MODs. But I still use an overlay on /system for a lot of stuff.
Alright, I tried the new zip and its booting up fine. And the fly-in graphics are working. Too bad all I see are all running processes being killed. Over and over again. Something is not what it should. Still progress
EDIT: Even the zip that should restore framework-res.apk causes the killing of processes. Restored the one from the 6.1 zip and its fine now
Working fine for me. This is nifty, got any other animations up your sleeves?
Edit: Oh wow, just realized how many this changes. Nice.
@greenolive. This is strange. I've just made a metamorph, but I gotta test it on a fresh install of CM.
@speedyink, there are more. I just need to find a way to release these for CM so that they work for everyone.
EDIT:
==================================================================================
Ok, I have made a metamorph Do not try to flash this zip. In order to use this you need either S-OFF or /system overlay. This should be a little more forgiving with the specific build of CM you're using. It is attached to this post, and won't make it to the OP until I'm a little more confident. This IS tested. I wiped everything and installed a new version of CM just so I could test this without my other modifications affecting it.
In testing, I didn't need to wipe dalvik-cache, but if you get problems do that before you complain at me
Ah, one more thing. You may wonder how this is any better than the zips I posted earlier. Well, as metamorph replaces the files it needs in your framework-res.apk, as opposed to replacing the whole apk (that's what the zips did), there is a smaller chance of errors caused by the the "wrong" framework.
i have cyanogen 6.1. for me the zip file got me into a boot loop and the metamorph did nothing. however i did manage to make it work by copying the anim folder from your zip file manually into my framewrok-res.apk file
I've been tried the metamorph version on CM7 nightlies and it worked on all of those roms .

THIS WILL NO LONGER BE MAINTAINED and is officially killed
go here if you want rw access and get the version without a kernel.(assuming you have a kernel installed that has aufs support)
IF YOU FLASHED THE UPDATE.ZIP THAT WAS ON THIS PAGE...PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING:
You need to remove the init script and static busybox that were installed on your device. You have to do this in recovery mode since your rw access is not real.
Download the version linked to above and place it at the root of your sdcard.
open rom manager
select boot to recovery
boot to recovery while plugged in to computer
then from computer:
Code:
adb shell
mount /system
mount /data
rm /system/etc/init.d/99sysrw
rm /data/bin/busybox
umount /system
umount /data
exit
and from the phone:
flash BlaY0's update.zip you put on the sdcard

I have no clue what you said, though. Will I be able to uninstall system apps with this? I'm guessin not as you were mostly speaking of partitions.

No, You will not be able to uninstall apps with this (at least I don't think). It doesn't actually let you write to the /system partition, it just creates an overlay.
And No it does not even look for an ext partition, it just uses the data partition.

Don't really know, I haven't tried. Bear in mind however since it is on your data partition, space could be an issue. Any files changed would then be stored in /data/sysrw.

as a test I did...

Even after a reboot I do not have com.amazon.mp3.apk installed
It worked for me too, I used android commander booted and running and removed out of /system/apps android.tether.apk, mytouchmusic-signed.apk, and twitter.apk. I had a force close when I removed one thing (I am sure it was running in the background)
They all were gone after a reboot too, I was also able to update adfree just fine.
Any way this can be built into roms?
Thanks for the hard work!

Hey dumfuq, thanks for this! Great idea on porting this badboy! One question though... from what I understood from the source thread is that will use the EXT. Partition for data if you have it right? So it won't break a2sd? I think I understood that correctly. Plus you need your kernel and that should make it work on any rom. I assume it won't overwite the OC kernel either. I'm excited to try this one out but I'm in the middle of rebuilding my rom so I can make a new backup (my old corrupted finally). I will test out as much as I can and let you know if different roms work. I should be done reinstalling by tomorrow (i have like 200 apps, lol!). This might turn out to be a good way to skip nandroiding and wiping all together if it turns out to work properly with a2sd/a2fat32... don't ya think?

This version is not the same as blayo's for the legend. It is closer to the desire one (although I used info from both).
Mine will not even try to detect an ext partition at this point, it just uses the data partition regardless of what is available.
Also nothing at all will get overwritten with this unless you happen to have an /system/etc/init.d/99sysrw file. It doesn't copy the kernel or modules, instead it just assumes you have a supported version . The only thing this update.zip does is add the script into init.d.

Working great on Fenix 2.0 with one of dumfuqs OC kernals...thank you much for this.
V2 is posted. It is essentially BlaY0's script for legend. I've only tested with no ext partition, but hopefully if you have one it will use it to store sysrw.

just so you guys now, v2 probably doesn't work for people with who want it on the ext. Blay0 fixed his though (to support non ext users), so I'll give it a look here soon.
Both versions do not work on stock kernel. Am I missing something? Should I use dumfuq kernel or cyanogenmod kernel in order to use this?

Everyone that does this, make sure to check cyanogen's wiki on making a barebones rom so you don't delete something you actually need (of course you did make a nandroid before doing this so no need to worry if you do).
You won't actually delete anything... overlay just makes you (and system) think it is deleted.
I finally got superclean 2.8 voodoo to work right but now that want to flash touchwiz launcher and apps-from what I understand is just doing the same thing in cwm-it does not work.. It says I had installed the .zip but when I reboot nothing is changed. I even moved the .zips from the Touch Wiz folder on my sd card to the root of my sd card.. What am I doing wrong? As I'm unable to flash touchwiz onto my phone.. This is confusing me because I'm doing everything right, unless I broke something.

Hey guys I appreciate any help with this issue i could get, I've just completed my first rom for the evo 3d and i have flashed it and it boots perfectly.It actually runs alot smother than i expected, absolutely no issues on MY phone. But i have passed it out to a couple guys for testing and on there phone it flashes and boots fine but all the data apps Ive included are not installing and when the install apps from the market it just starts rebooting. I'm thinking somehow or another the data partition is getting stuck in R/O and not R/W, is that possible(im sure anything is possible) but if that's the case how do i fix it, and if not what do you guys think it is.Also why would it install fine for me but no one else?

Odex and deodex have no effect on installing ROMs. The only difference between the two is one is slightly faster and in deodex the classes.dex is in the apk and not in odex form. Ask them what their hboot version is. 1.50 is kinda tricky.

Hello all devs, I have a suggestion that I think many people that cant unlock the bootloader will think very nice.
The sugestion is that the devs if they time to make a version like JJs hybrid rom for locked bootloaders.
I have also tried the Miui rom, and I removed the format script and boot.img and it booted fine without any major problems.
So my sugestion is that the devs makes their roms for stockkernel for people with locked bootloader, and makes a deletion script that removes all the files from the old rom.
Devs, what do you think about my idea?
Thats not possible to remove format script...
If you dont format system partition, it will be overloaded with applications and frameworks from Old and New ROM... the two ROM appz might not share the same sign keys... that would result in Bootloop or Series of FCs on install...

Here are a solution that I think maybe works:
First create a homemade format script that removes all the stuff on partiation, but it doesnt run the format options, it just deltes everything manually from recovery.
And then just remove the format script from the roms zipfile and remove the boot.img too.
Then just resign the zip file with sign by enyblock.
Thats should work, maybe somebody can try it?

thats practically not possible either...
MIUI, CM9 have different appz and framework...
applications aside, who has enough time to write a delete script for more than a thousand lib and other system files?..
I am trying to find out the files that don't load on statup after installing a flashable zip on Locked bootloaders... that is better way of finding a solution..

But isnt there a way to just remove all folders using recursive deletion, isnt that the easiest way to make a deletion script?
And then just remove the format script and boot.img.

This is why most custom ROMs require custom kernel
Needs unlocked bootloader
(actually hybrom does not contain a boot image.Thus, when you install hybrom you don't mess with your boot image at all.BUT recovery from nAa is installed in /system and while system is formated during the installation of hybrom,recovery messes with it self.That's why unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel with recovery is necessary for now to install hybrom)

It means, that if Recovery is installed in /system folder, and you want to install custom ROM, which (mostly) replaces the system folder, Recovery would be removed and would end up in complete stop with bootloop.
If Recovery is installed in the kernel, then the whole /system partition can be removed without affecting the Recovery at all.
Also, stock kernels have quite low functionality, that's why it is not widely used.

But I restored my nAa CWM backups several times and that as I know formats the system before the restore..
Yeah, about the boot.img, can we dont just mod the chargemoon to load the rom?
Or charger?

Loading the ROM is not the problem, it is the functionality.
Modifying stock kernel can be done, but if you want to make it work, you have to unlock bootloader to install it also.

But I mean the roms that are built for stockkernel like some of the miui roms?

Ok so i was having some laggy issues w the x2 and all the sudden i started getting process not working for things like nova laucher and such. SO i went into BSR to wipe cache and fix the permissions. Did that and now the phone sits on the Big M boot screen. Why wont it boot up. I didnt wipe dat or try to flash anything. Any way to get the phone up and runnig again w/ o SBF'g

Well what ROM are you using for starters.
that might be important right.. .sorry.. its aokp 6
Ok. Well if you can get back into BSR, try and wipe the dalvik cache in the advance settings. I never use the fix permissions option. Maybe that did something to your device.
did that too. Still on the boot logo. is a sbf in order

Well I wouldnt see why it would do that if you just wiped cache and fixed permissions. Did you have any other mods on there? Were you using the patched CM7 BSR and not the original one?
i was using the motodx2_bootstrap_signed.apk. Not sure if the cm7 or not. Ive used this on eclipse and aokp

That one is fine to use on Eclipse. But pretty much any other ROM we have (CM7, CM9, CM10, AOKP, Paranoid Android and I think even MIUI), you need to use the CM7 BSR named "MOTODX2_Bootstrap-CM7-signed.apk" which is found in the CM7 thread. That may have been the problem.
really... damn. i dl'd it so when i flash cm10 but did not install it for thw aokp. Just off your thoughts is the cm10 stable enough now to install. i have no prob putting aokp back on but im nott looking for stability problems. If cm10 isnt stable yet i van wait

I think CM10 is more stable than any of the ICS ROMs. But with the stability, there comes other small issues that the ICS ROMs dont have. Its a trade off. Main issues of CM10:
1. Messing with bluetooth may cause phone to crash durring calls. Reboot fixes it until bluetooth is messed with again. (Might be fixed with an update)
2. Storage is in a different location. Not really an issue but its also swapped back to the original 4gigs for the internal. All your files will be flipped after using other ROMs for so long. (not a huge deal)
3. Due to the storage being moved around, apps that are stored on the SD card will disappear after reboot. (will probably be fixed in the future)
4. Flashing ROMs in recovery wont work. If any update comes out, you have to either SBF and update or nandroid back to ICS and update. (again, not a huge issue)
Other than that, I cant really think of any bad stuff. Its faster and I have no random reboots. I recommend it if you can live with the issues I mentioned which are honestly not bad.
Also, with the BSR files, in case you dont know already. When you are on stock 2.3.4, you first use the original BSR. Then when you flash CM10, you install the CM7 BSR.
Thanks JS
1. I never use blue tooth so then i should be all set then.. correct?
2. didnt aokp have that. I know the eclipse rom had the flip flop in it to read right but aokp i had to move my music and such so wouldnt i still be in the same boat or is it different than oakp?
3. i have some apps.. such as thems i have downloaded off of xda. So once installed they will work but rebooting will make them dissapear? is there a way to put these on the phone memory? Also curious i have google drive and have some of these installed on the drive. Will they still work or do they just dl to the sd and still not work?
4 i dont have a problem sbf'g but wondering if i nandroid the a2, will i be able to sbf, install root, a3 ect and do a data restore to get my info back?
also i will take the cm7 bsr and remeber that. Thanks

1. I use bluetooth every now and then but I never turn it off. It seems that toggling the bluetooth on and off or visa versa triggers the issue and a reboot fixes it again.
2. I forget what Eclipse had. Its been so long. But ever since CM7, the flip flop mod has been included in all the ROMs which meant you got your SD card (which the droid X2 comes with 8GB) as internal storage and the actual 4GB internal storage was turned into the "external storage." CM10 reverted back to the original 4GB internal and 8GB external.
3. Everything you download and install on your phone will usually be installed on the internal storage. I think if you have apps over a certain size (which isnt very many. Mostly games), they are installed on your SD card. Those are the ones the system has a problem reading after a reboot. the actual files you have downloaded from XDA will still be there. Just installed apps might disappear.
4. Not really sure what you are asking here. But if you get A2 installed and up and running and A3 comes out, You will pretty much need to start over. But for me, thats fine. I use Titanium Backup and restore everything after a wipe anyway. What data are you referring to?
ok so this is the gapps md5
MD5sum: f62cfe4a827202899919fd932d5246d7
and gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip

Pete's can be a PITA... If usb debug is enabled and unkown sources is checked just keep trying. I've had to "one click" 5 or 6 times before it works right. Close the program between tries. Also make sure your phone isn't in PC charge mode or anything.
Sorry for not updating this. After trying for 2 hrs I started trying everything. It turned out I had to use the cable that came w the dx2. No other cables worked
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Ah, my bad I should have read the time stamp. Anyway yea, the cable is a big deal (even though that sounds crazy.)

Lol oh and btw MD5 checksums are
"The MD5 checksum for a file is a 128-bit value, something like a fingerprint of the file. There is a very small possibility of getting two identical checksums of two different files. This feature can be useful both for comparing the files and their integrity control."
