Thats a very good point. I think the main issue will be the differences in hardware. Things like screen resolution and the camera. Chances are we would still be stuck with 2.1 but maybe we can make custom roms. If this is the case then all we need to do is crack the bootloader and start porting 2.2. If my experience with WM roms is anything to go by they'll be a group of phone specific files and the rest can be changed to match the build.

minimal rom ..request .

would any one take up on this and make a rom that less than 100 mb in size no bloat not even voice callin ? no voice search no gallery nakid rom , i would like a rom that i have to install everything on my ownn instead havin thing preloaded by devs ?

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

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becasue is outdated ?
Since Android 2.3 has been out for a while now, Froyo is outdated, yet we still all use it.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.

[Q] Can someone provide me original Notes.apk, Stopwatch.apk and Timescape?

I've installed a custom ROM but these are the apps that I really need now. Can someone post them here, so I don't have to reflash again?
I have Notes.apk
Thank you! And I also need the camera. I can't do videos anymore, only photos
http://www.mediafire.com/?dh19mvmr597e8xd
thank dr norton
have any of you actually got any of these apps to work on a custom rom? I've never seen or heard of it...how...if I just put the original, signed apps in system/app and change permissions and rest, they never work.....
i used some off the stock SE when i used froyobread by stelios97
camera,timescape,trackid,and a few others i cant remember
i just deleted the app in the custom rom,and put the stock SE in, and the installed the rom
So some of this worked on Froyo? That's good to know. Though, if it doesn't work on GingerB, probably not Ice Cream S. Thanks for telling us though.
Maybe i was just lucky,but again i didnt install them or set permissions, i put them in the custom rom, maybe that why it worked,same with new market i replaced that also in the rom and put old market back
on poul-xxx sonybread 2.3.5 i replaced the custom camera with SE stock camera not the SE apk but one SE you install with xrecovery ,i got some issues with video but that i dont use,so camera it worked fine for me
Also put trackid on this rom worked fine
Hi, sorry to bother you again, bug you again, but how did you put them in the rom if not by root explorer? Whatever you did, I'll try too!
Thanks!
No problem i did it this way
1.Download the rom
2.Open it with rar, dont extract it
3.Go to system/app
4.Remove the apk you dont want
5.Then copy/move the SE apk in system/app
6.when done close it and run the rom
7. If everything goes well you should se the SE stock on the rom
but again mabye i was just lucky
This works! I've got some working and I'll try to get more.....thanks!
happy i could help you

Have you got the original Timescape working on a custom rom, and if so how (please could you provide full instructions please ?) ? THANKS!
I haven't tested the Timescape at all, I never liked that one a lot!
If you go to the apps section of the forum, I've seen many threads for Timescape fans which puts it on your custom rom.

Download the ROM

Sorry as would be done to put in a Ray Xperia bootloader locked, sorry for my bad English ..
If i flash this rom, will i be able to update via pc companion after?
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
this is best GB rom for me. very fast, smooth and good battery life.
Tks

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.

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?
