but i9000 have sanitary rom which is nakid and we dont i dont know how to cook roms im a constructioon worker let it stay this way
when i release a room your phone will turn in to a vaccum , no wannit that right ? p
Go download a stock rom and delete everything you don't want from the .zip before you flash it.
o yeah and boot my phone up to tons of FORCE CLOSE ? no thanks if it was that eeasy i would do it .
just download any rom you want go into data/app and delete everything in there and then go into system/app and delete everything in there and then you got yourself a rom with no apps at all
i did that and rom wouldnt even iinstall from clockwork would get stuck on install bar that wouldnt even go anywhere
I slimmed down Loki as much as possible, 110Mb. More apps could be removed, but some are necessary for the phone to even start.
yup im slimind Loki 1-2 rom down but after deletin something i would get status bar but no desktop not sure what i removed maybe fonts.apk thats why

no bionix is not slimed down to minimum , i guess u never seen slimed rom to minimum go to i9000 and look up
i ran i9000 sanitary rom but could not stop soft reboots ((
Why not use Sonofskywalker's Blackhole ROM? You can put only what you want in it.
becasue is outdated ?
Since Android 2.3 has been out for a while now, Froyo is outdated, yet we still all use it.
I know people who still use Windows XP, and it's almost eleven years old.
Just because it's older doesn't mean it's useless.
You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time?
how about using one of the ROM cooker tools posted here? You know a minimized ROM doesn't save you any RAM, there's a minimum allocated RAM requirement on the Vibrant...
Bionic v may not be the minimalist but it is the blazingest rom to grace this planet.

Hey
Can anybody recommend a stable and fast vanilla 2.1 ROM for the Hero?
I've tried Vanillain but found it to be quite laggy and FC'ing.
If not, can anybody suggest any 2.1 ROM I can use and just disable SenseUI?
Thanks
kie.
Im in search for this also. Currently using latest ahero but im not satisfied. Best vanilla rom I've tried is aychteesee but that's 1.5 it is fast as hell. Every 2.1 rom i tried is laggy as hell.

Exactly the same for me,,, I like Vanilla but agree, the 1.5 makes it not an option for me.... please can someone help us ??????
I'm sure we'll see some good vanilla 2.1 ROMs once HTC releases the 2.1 kernel source. Of course, that could take forever.
To be honest, the best "workaround" I have found is to use a 2.1 ROM and disable Sense UI.
I have been using Legendary recently using this method, the battery life is second best to any other ROM I have tried but it is very laggy and annoying to use. I find that AutoKiller shows a lot of processes running which can be stopped. This does speed the handset up alot, but say you close the People application, then open it again, it takes a while to show contacts.
I am literally going back to SenseHero 1.6 as we speak because 2.1 ROMs arn't great at the moment, and I will be disabling SenseUI, seems to use alot of resources and slows the phone down a bit.
For people who want to disable SenseUI...
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > SenseUI and click Clear Defaults. Press the Home button and then choose Home (you can also tick the box to use Home as the default Launcher)
BTW, I am quite new to android so any other advice would be cool, like what can actually be done with a rooted handset? I have failed to see any benefits yet (apart from an unlock)...

The best 2.1. IMO is Villain 3.4
As mentioned I've disabled sense and installed helix launcher.... I've tried all the roms, but 3.4 gives me the speed I need and most important, everything works.
The absolut very best rom is "SenseHero2.1" from "Stickman" (or try the 1.6 version, also still available)
its: FAST, STABLE, GOOD LOOKING, and WORKS!

I have to agree that this rom is very veruy good,.... only problem is the vanilla lockscreen
Every ROM on 2.1 i tried is very slow compared to the fastest 1.5 there is like aychteesee. And disabling sense is only changing the homescreen i like vanilla everywhere
Personally, I use Fresh 2.0d rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=643034
My advice is to update your recovery console to RA 1.6.2 (check version for your phone first at the site) .. found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
Once you're RA is up to date, use the utiilities in the RA console to do a nandroid back up of your o/s, then wipe system and existing partition, repartition your sd card and convert ext2 to ext3. It will only take a minute to do all of that.. its really easy. Then flash Fresh rom and check his site for standard sprint apps if you want to install them. The rom has auto a2sd if you're interested in having your apps stored and run from your sd card. It didnt work on mine until I went into the recovery and manually flashed the as2d program using Darktremor A2sd 2.6:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087
After that, it worked great (at least for me it did). Pretty much everything works on the rom with the exception of live wallpaper, you can add it but then the weather animations wont work so its one or the other based on what you prefer. They have a fix for the lock screen as well but it has 3 different options based on alarm preferences. Other than that, I found it to be fast, functional and fun. Definitely better than any other rom I've used so far and about the closest you'll get right now to anything resembling an official 2.1 rom. Just remember to make that nandroid backup of your o/s before you do anything in case you don't like the rom (which I doubt will happen).
Best of luck guys!
another vote for fresh 2.0d, ran so much faster than the sprint 1.5 i had even after i removed all the bloatware.
ArayrayMod Rom Set has come to a close...
All future roms will be built from source, I will not modify anyone elses work anymore.
It's not easy being green.
Step 1: Read this whole page.
Step 2: If your coming from another rom, do a nandroid backup, wipe and then flash.
Step 3: Flash all patches.
Step 4: If errors occur give detailed info and version.

I'm sure it's a fine ROM. Actually, I'm not sure. But it sounds good.
Too bad there's not many Espresso themed base ROM's. I'm sticking with CM_ROM.
Theres not alot of roms for the slide so i figured why not post mine
how in the world do you get the sense clock widget on the adw launcher?
You a mc cant thats dependent on sense and sense needs htc framework soooo, only wasy for that is sense, but I use fancy wodget which it a replica of it that works on every launcher

yeah i had the fancy widget at one point in time, but that was on my g1, and it has been taken off the market since then. google search did the job just fine though. thanks.
thats wat i use i love it haha
Array is there a way that i can take your custom slide status bar and put it on a cm6 rom? would u be able to post the files needed for it? i like the status bar from the stock slide sense rom and i see you put it in your rom.
Im pretty sure you need framework-res.apk
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Yea I tried that but when i loaded it i got a android phone process error every minute and couldnt even go thru the setup process. Is there something else other then the framework-res.apk that i need to transfer?
im not too sure wat would be wrong.... did you flash it or just push the file?

If he just copied on a random Framework app then he's asking for trouble, especi...Fixing perm might help but if the 2 CM roms were compiled at diff times then there could be changes that will not let the new res.apk function.
im thinking he just pushed the file and thts really no good but if he flashed it via a rom then he did something wrong
i copied this roms framework into cm6.0.0 rom, signed the rom then wiped my phone and flashed that rom. Maybe there built differently thats why i got that android.phone process force close.
im not sure my base is cm 6.0.0..... but ill make a flashable zip for you tht will have the framework if you want
would you mind posting that wallpaper? its sick bro

im sorry i have to ask.. i have looked for a couple of hours now and cant find any solid info on installing miui..
im a veteran at flashing tw roms and themes.. but with the lack of knowledge on aosp im a little weary on going forward..
im unsure if any kernel comes with the miui rom.?. what cwm i need.?. or if i need to odin it.?. what modem will i need? .. do i need to start from stock eclair? do i need to reboot before flashing a kernel after flashing rom? do i need to reboot before flashing gapps? do i need gapps?
my head is spinning.. if someone would give me detailed direction i would do my best to compile it and help others.
thanks
What I did as a noob which was easy even for me was EF guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035420
Then : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155477
well actually I just went from EF to CM7 that new guide seems simple enough though.
and the CM7 post he refers to for the fixed cmw is this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116424
Then just flash Miui from CM7 or straight to Miui from EF but it sometimes gives you issues. My personal experience has been to flash Jt's CM7 then to Miui
*Edit* Also if you need any more help just PM me I have an hour to kill or so.

had some trouble with some hash checks.. little behind
flashing new cwm then cm7 then miui... miui is all i need to flash? or do i have todo gapps
?
what color should the fixed recovery be? mine is still red.
sorry my bro from portland called. Red is fine you dont need gaps as you will be flashing it away anyways. if you're still having issues with hash checks download an earlier build of CM7 to install that first then Miui.
Edit Miui comes with Gapps, jt's CM7 doesn't but when you flash to Miui you will wipe gapps anyways is what I mean.
edit 2 Also depending on build you won't be able to 3 button to red cmw from boot so use terminal emulator or rom manager to reboot into recovery.
wow.. cm7 is so much better than what im used to i might just stay.. lmao..
im not sure what i want now.. cm7 or miui.. i need a nice gold coin to flip

How to get BLACK Notification Bar for the Motorola Defy(Official Froyo 2.2) in the Simplest way?
Is it possible to apply the Black bar in the simplest way without installing/using custom roms like CM7 or MIUI or flashing anytheme roms?
i very much want a Black or Best-a "Transparent" Notification Bar(if possible) ,but i dont know how?
is using metamorph & a spl theme the easiest way to install black status/notification bar?...if yes,plz tell me the correct procedure!
i am currently on official Indian Froyo 2.2 from Motorola & am quite happy with everything & dont want to install other roms! (also i find the installation process complicated & risky), except a Black or Best-a "Transparent" Notification Bar!
Can u experts tell me in the simplest way how to do it,(step by step if possible), how to achieve what i'm seeking?
I'm just a common noob!....reply & help me plz!
*btw, my defy is rooted !
TIA!
I think that the only way is to flash a ROM with black bar.
And transparent status bar isn't possible.
I recommend that you flash CM7.
No other replies...some alternative method of achieving Black status bar other than flashing custom roms?....i dont want to flash other roms..i'm happy with froyo 2.2,except the status bar which i want to be black coloured or transparent!
May be not directly answer your question,
but you can use some luancher that can HIDE the notification bar.
So yau can still use official froyo and no notification bar on the top of the screen.
Already doing that!... but i seriously thought black status bar could be at least possible on a froyo defy,w/o flashing any custom roms!...but i'm getting no lead to that!
current h.s w/o Statusbar
can use go launcher. there is an option to hide the bar
Sent from my MB525 using XDA Premium App
I'm not too sure, but I think the black bar is possible only on android 2.3.0 or later. Sure is possible do it on any rom, but you will have to edit the source of the rom, compile it again and flash it, so its more easy you flash a 2.3.x rom than put the black bar on your rom w/o flash it again (to not say impossible).

in cm7 you can use themes which have a black or a transparent Status bar.I think it's not possible to get a different status bar in Stockroms!

Thanks Friend for trying to help me out, & it would have been perfect solution for me, except that there r lot of problems with it,particularly clock as found by various users,..morever i'm NOT sure if it's for 2.1 or 2.2 ?...i allmost halfbricked my defy by installing a wrong theme under metamorph!
Sorry to say, but if you want a black bar, lose this fear of install a rom or give up from this ideia. All this have risk of brick. You start of play with it will ensure you to solve any problem after. If you install a wrong zip from metamorph on your rom, you will have to install a rom our lose much more. Install the titanium backup. Make the backup of everything and try a new rom.the risk of you brick your phone trying to put the black bar without change your android version is much bigger than just put a cm7, for example. Get the FAQ on dev section of how install the cm7 or ginger with motoblur. Read it well and do exactly how it say. Will be faster and easier than how are you trying.

other than of just the fear of bricking the phone,....i have the fear that Cm7 or miui are still half baked products with bugs here & there...,example.wifi will not work/ cause problem(i have NO data plans & completely dependent upon wifi) or camera will not work properly etc,etc. i still feel that for stability purpose with everything running properly,stock roms r the best!

Seriously you think stock is the best.... well I just flashed for the first time and used CM 7 RC 1 and I was delighted to see an almost 2x increase in my GPRS/Edge 2G speed almost instantaneously. On my stock 2.2.2 Froyo.... it was cr$p
^^ have u any Negative experience with working/using the wifi & also about camera on defy after updating to cm7?...i hear many ppls facing problems on those issues. So,i'm asking u, if u can give me a Honest answer?...also can u tell me ,why it is called Cm7 RC1(Release Candidate1)?...why are not they final yet..if they r just perfect?
I don't have any problems with camera on my green lents defy. I just don't have a way yet to make a video with 720p, and this you don't have with stock too. Out you have a red lent, you can do it. Its not a final version 'cause they still trying a way to put 720p on green yet and others little things. It get a final version just when the group of cm past to support the device (hard without unlocked bootloader).
All that you have on the stock I have on cm7, much faster by the way. And you don't have a clock on demand like us, cannot change your lock screen by free without a ads or a strange bug that I fold when I tried do it on a stock. You cannot change your status bar or what you have on it and even get a transparent effect when slide it. And by the way, none about multitouth by default. And since I have used a custom rom,i had, the luck, of not see anymore a force close windows (much common when I was on 2.1 w/ blur). But is your choose. But with metamorph, you install a zip as you was installing a rom out paths of it. Any wrong file, and your rom can be corrupted. With this, or you do a backup of the rom or lost ask.
Do whatever you choose, but first install the titanium backup a do a backup of whatever you have. With this, whatever problem you have, you will can restore your apps and the data from them.

i am so f*cking sick of trying custom roms, nearly every ics rom has problems with a lot of 3d games (**** you, google!!!!), some gb roms have problems with this and that and this and that and so on.
i really like this rom because of its slickness. but WHAT A SURPRIIIISE, of course there's an ugly thing too, i CANT BUY STUFF ON google play via my phone bill.
im so pissed off right now, i'm on the best way to hate android in a very special way. because i got my phone for about a month now and there was not a single rom that satisfied me in every single way / works more than a week without showing (big?) flaws.
i really understand those iphone-people now, "one OS for a few devices, everythings stable and so on".
thats just not possible with android. if you wanna go "beyond" stockrom and stockapps, it doesnt take too long and your F+CKED! happy reinstalling!!
keyboard is not working for me, can please somebody help

Well if you can afford to buy an iPhone then buy one, but you'll be bored by not having to customise it
I'm guessing you haven't tried the hybrid yet, look for JJdoctor
I have tried every single rom for the Sony Xperia Ray, and this old Gingerbread rom from JJDoctor is by a long way the slickest one for the Ray. ICS is a bit slow for the Sony Ray with the hardware available understandably, but this gblite rom really flies, and you can easily make it look like ICS by downloading ADW launcher and then downloading the ICS theme for free.

ICS is a bit slow for the Sony Ray with the hardware available understandably, but this gblite rom really flies, and you can easily make it look like ICS by downloading ADW launcher and then downloading the ICS theme for free.

I tried it because of your post and I won't go back to ICS in a while. But I have problem with the keyboard. It force closes
p.s. lol I unchecked my native language and it worked
Download a keyboard from google play, you can get ICS or stock gingerbread keyboards, most are free too.

Yeah I figured it out but at first I couldn't enter into my profile therefore I couldn't use Google Play
p.s. which baseband should I use ? I think mobile data is not working
I think they recommend baseband 58 but I am using the latest baseband 72, which seems to be the best upto now. The other basebands and even this one a little bit are awful to use as wifi hotspots, every so often there is a long pause where the mobile internet data connection refuses to do anything, I find it really frustrating.
So the problems are mobile data and MTP everything else is perfect.
data
Any advice on mobile data?
How to Flash Zip?
I've tried flashing the zip numerous times (via CWM using the 'install zip from SDcard' option) and my (Xperia Ray/GB 2.3.4/locked BL) phone keeps getting completely stuck at the 'Sony' part of the bootup sequence.. Can anyone help me out?
Would like to see this ROM in action.. :/
