This is my first Custom Rom guys, so all feedback is appreciated, even if you think it sucks. which you might....
PRESENTING:
BLACKHOLE CUSTOM ROM
*Disclaimer*
I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone, any issues you have with this ROM, or anything in general. This is provided as is and I will do my best to support this, but make no promises. This rom SHOULD WORK on any kernel or flashed over any other custom rom, or even stock, but has not been tested on all. If you flash this without wiping data all of your downloaded apps will still be on the phone, this will only remove the stock apps. If you flash any themes without these enhancements through clockworkmod recovery you will most likely remove the 15 second backlight and power button options, however metamorph themes may or may not remove these enhancements.
*End of disclaimer*
This is a project of mine because even the cleanest custom rom was never clean enough for me. I want my device to be fully customized and this was the best way I saw to do it, so I wanted to share.
This rom has almost nothing built into it. the easiest way to tell you what I removed is actually to tell you what is left...
Remaining apps:
Camera
Gmail
Market
Phone
Settings
Superuser
Task Manager
Voice Search
Swype
LauncherPro
Features:
15 Second softkey backlight
Reboot, Recovery, and Download options in the power button menu
Ultralite rom built for ultimate customization
Thats it. Once you install this as a barebones custom rom, I make it easy to install the apps that you want. I do this so that people like me can have only what they want. All you have to do is create a folder called "apps" (case sensitive) on your sdcard and copy all the .apk files you want installed as System apps into it. Then just unzip the attached folder anywhere, and run the <InstallApps.bat> file inside it.
Due to Facebook, Myspace and Twitter Sync requiring too much extra programs to run properly I will not be supporting it for the current versions of Blackhole. Once our great Devs figure out how to get AOSP running on this phone then you will be able to sync them all with their own downloaded apps, until then, it will not be a feature of this ROM. Sorry if this puts anyone off, but the point of this rom is space, speed, and battery life. SNS is just too bulky to be included.
You can get the app files from other custom roms, by unzipping them and looking in the /system/app directory or just around on the board.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or chat me up in IRC channel #samsung-fascinate on freenode.
If you need any app suggestions to replace the ones missing from this ROM please post and I will reply as soon as I can.
Changelog:
v0.3 - Standard download is Stock Theme, and the Blackmod Enhanced theme is a seperate clockwork zip. I also removed a few extra background apps.
v0.4 - Removed A LOT of background apps, including all DRM apps, and the Media Sync(MTP) mode (because, lets face it, no one who uses a custom rom is going to sync DRM tracks from windows media player)
Do not turn on Google Location Services, it will force close. This doesn't affect your GPS accuracy or lock time.
Removed accessibility aps (Kickback, Talkback, Soundback) they are all available in the market.
v0.4.1 - Added default MMS app back to fix issues with MMS not being delivered.
v0.5 - Removed several more background apps.
v0.6 - Removed even more background apps. My phone is still running fine but please let me know if you have issues. I have added the TouchWizCalendarProvider.apk into my Extra Apps link because it is required to reinstall the calendar properly.
This is still very much a Beta Rom, you may have force close issues, and if you try to access something that has been removed, you WILL get a force close. If there is something removed that you wish was still there i'm sorry, i'm working really hard to get this ready as a base for my Rom Manager Build-Your-Own-Rom idea, and that means removing everything possible. I will be glad to provide app names if something you want isn't working. please reply to this thread with any issues you have and I will try my best to work them out.

I take no credit for these, I simply put them all together in an easy to access space, for people not quite savvy enough to pull them from a system dump themselves. The AOSP apps and Stock Deodexed Apps can be installed using the installer method above, the custom apps need to be installed through Clockwork Mod Recovery just like the ROM. If i'm missing something you want added let me know and I will add it to the extra apps link if I can find it.
Thanks:
Jt1134 for script help and the Super Clean rom series that inspired me
Deodexed for the custom boot and shutdown animations
Nintendo and Square-Enix for the boot and shutdown audio
tigers4life and utermensh for their work on the extra power button options
wasupwithuman for the extended softkey backlight mod
stanrc for the BlackmodF metamorph theme
Frost for his help with integrating the mods into the theme
DlongB13 for initial testing
PhoenixPath for frequent testing, troubleshooting, and feedback.
and everyone else who helped me along the way

Does it still have the built in messaging app?
Nice job! However, may I suggest a different name for this ROM? When I see Barebones 0.2 I thought it would be an update to the existing ROM that birdman made, this is pretty different.
it does not. the rom is not meant to be used as is, but to be customized by each person who downloads it. you can download chomp sms or handcent sms from the market, or get the stock messaging app from frostman's deodexed rom or the aosp messaging app from JT's Super Clean .04 rom and install it using the instructions in the first post.

oh yeah, that's what he named his TEST20 kernel isn't it. hmm. any suggestions anyone?
I suggest something like "skeleton" or "minimalist" or just "simple ROM". I like the sound of "Simple Rom" myself.
Clarification
I really like the idea you have. The only suggestion I would make is, for those not savvy enough to dig up system dumps, etc to find the needed .apks, maybe adding a folder called "Apks" to the rom (in which you would find all the stock removed apks), so you just copy/paste into the "sdcard" folder you create. Again, kudos to your idea of a 'build-your-own-rom' rom you have here.

Thank you, I appreciate that. And we are actually somewhat on the same page. this is the first dev work i've ever done and i'm learning as I go. my goal is to have this rom in Rom Manager, with custom download options like some roms have on other phones. for example you pick the Blackhole Rom, then select your version, and then it asks you which launcher you want, then which messaging app, then which contacts app, etc. that way you can choose from a list when you download it, or choose "no thanks" and get a different one yourself.
Not a fan of the theme but thanks!
I will release a stock theme update tomorrow.

All of that will be available soon after I get listed on Rom manager. it's much easier that way than trying to post apk files on this topic. If you can't wait that long JT has the stock mms app already in rom manager and the mesmerize contacts app is in a topic on the forums here. it's the same as stock except a few new features.
Sorry, probably a dumb question, but am I correct in assuming that because there's no mention of TouchWiz, you've replaced it with LP?

yes that's correct. A little while after it's up on Rom manager I'll set it up to let you choose between LauncherPro, ADW, and Touchwiz. For starters.
I read over on other GalaxyS phones about DRM services that run in the background that take a decent toll on battery life.. Have you looked into getting them removed to further clean the system up and improve on this cleanliness?

I will certainly try it out. i've been slowly removing an app or 2 every couple of hours to see if it crashes my phone, then if all is good i'll release an update tomorrow. I'll check those out this evening.
Updated changelog available at http://www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3
Update:
Version 1.1 changelog:
Removed lockscreen and bootanimation as a default part of the ROM and added it into options. If you have a bootanimation you would like to be featured in the Blackhole Build Your Own ROM series please let me know.
Added a modification section where you can choose to change which app you are using, or to install additional addons. this will not wipe system, so you can choose only what you want. be aware that if you change apps with different filenames (for example choose ADW under modifications when you had launcherpro before) it will keep both, but if you choose on that's the same file name (for example the mesmerize contacts instead of stock) it will overwrite and you'll only have the one. I hope I have explained this well. I will be updated my scripts over the next few days to delete any other options that are installed so that there won't be any redundancy.
Version 1.2 changelog:
Added back Settingsprovider.apk to fix issue with FC when choosing Airplane Mode
Fixed Options:
Fixed script for Puzzle Lock, actually works now.
Fixed file name for POP/Exchange Email so it will download right
Replaced Stock Desk Clock with Mesmerize Desk Clock so voice search uses Google instead of Bing
New Options:
Added Haters Gonna Hate Bootanimation (no sound, but pretty funny)
Added Hiddenmenu.apk (if you don't know what it is, don't bother checking it)
Added SNS(Facebook Sync). Requires TouchWiz Launcher and Calendar, and one of the Contacts options.
Version 1.3 changelog:
Added Widgetpicker to base rom, faster interface and groups multiple widgets from the same program.
Removed MMS from base rom and added as a customization category.
Modified Build.Prop to allow OTA Update notifications
Version 1.4 changelog:
Added globalsearch.apk to allow searching of data on the device (Please let me know if this still doesn't work)
Added PhoenixPath's GPS fix (again, please let me know if this doesn't help.)

Notes: I will no longer be listing voodoo kernels with blackhole, because with the latest kernel updates by jt and geeknik I don't see them being as necessary as they were before, and for people who use ROM manager, but don't frequent forums like xda and modadroid.com they may not know switching from a voodoo to nonvoodoo kernel can cause issues. You can still download voodoo kernels from JT's section of ROM manager, or on XDA or modadroid.com

haha. well i did stop for dinner. But seriously things will slow down now that i've lept my first hurdle. next step is to find a better hosting solution than dropbox.
the only changes are that I added back lcdtest.apk because without it the screen won't auto shutoff, and the networklocation.apk because it is necessary for gps. also i removed launcherpro since now that it's on ROM Manager you can choose which launcher you want.
I havent had any issues with the lcd not shuting off on .6. Also I dont care about the gps, so I will stick with the .6 version for now.
quick question, do we have to wipe if were coming from 0.5 to 1.0?
Blackmod enhanced seems to be broken. I get a corrupted zip error when downloading.
But the the S in the notification dropdown is cool!
Awesome job.
Loving it.
Need another option or two though. Gallery (Stock or AOSP), Email.apk...(Oh! Evolution font. Can't live without it...)
Also, blackmod download seems to be corrupted. (fixed... go to bed, dammit!)
Car Home is installing instead of ROM manager when ROM Manager is selected... tried it twice. Links might be fubar'd. No ROM Manager apk in /system/apps.
Yaup. Watched the install... It installs mesmerize_carhome.
Loving it so far. Keep it up! (and get some actual work done too )
I'm about to hit the install button. One quick question. I'm coming from the stock Tom running voodoo v2... currently disabled... should I remove it, and do I have to wipe data and cache?

hmmf i might try this if it actually has gallery and contacts now?
ok so I installed this rom from rom manager and now I can't boot into recovery through the rom manager, nor can I install another rom. anybody got any ideas
Edit, fixed it, wasn't under su
I'm about to give this a try, very excited about freeing up memory and extending the battery life. One question: is it possible to make vcast video work this? I'm one of the weirdos that pays $10/month (for the nfl and the office). I've had trouble with just about every custom rom I've tried.

Noticed the fc as well. No big, everything still seems to work. As for the gallery, just grab the stock gallery or gallery3d.apk from any of the other roms out there. (download, extract, copy gallery apk file to /system/apps and reboot)

A few items brought up overnight. Due to unforseen demand I maxed out my dropbox daily transfer limit, so i've had to upgrade to their paid service. This costs me $9.99 per month, so I've decided to add a donate link to my sig to try to offset this a little. Please feel free to use this rom or anything I ever do without donating, I'm not trying to make money off of developing, just trying to cover my costs associated with it.
The Gallery should be available in addons now, and i'll be working on vcast video today. I have fixed the issues with the blackmod enhanced theme, mesmerize contacts, and Rom manager and mesmerize car dock options being reversed.

Excellent. I should really start looking into getting my domain back up and running. I would love to host some of these projects... You guys shouldn't have to pay to distribute your work. That's just lame...
Maybe you could re-add the calendarprovider.apk back into your roms. It appears this is needed for calendar apps to sync with google calendar. Keep up the excellent work.

The touchwizcalendarprovider.apk is included with the TouchWiz Calendar option I've just added to ROM Manager addons. If you want to have the file available by itself for use with other calendar programs i'll be glad to add that as well.
I think having the provider.apk by itself would be a good option for those of us who use 3rd party calendars. Thanks.

I have added a calendars section where you can choose between touchwiz calendar (with the app and provider) or 3'rd party support (with just the provider). let me know if this works for you with a third party calendar app please.

I have added a vcast video option to the addons in ROM Manager. try downloading it. it worked for me up to the point where you have to subscribe, and since I don't i couldn't proceed. let me know if it works or not please and I will try to fix it if it doesn't. (you may need to also download the video player from addons, not sure)
Also for those wondering: the usb settings gave you the option of choosing between USB Mass Storage mode and Music Sync Mode. I left the Music Sync Mode out because I figured no one running a custom rom would use it. if i'm wrong it's real easy to add the package as an extra. let me know if any of you want it.
Edit: dropbox killed my link apparently, so here is another. Sorry about that peeps. One thing: this package contains amend update script, which is not supported by clockworkmod recovery 3.0 and above. If you have clockworkmod 3.0 and above, see lucas.scott's thread.. that package contains edify script updater, and should work with cwm 3.

I know many of you have tried to flash the original flashable zip installer for Hulu and Flash 10 (from lucas.scott's post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939500) on EB01 and it hasn't worked (including me). That's because the update script and Binary that was included in that zip isn't compatible with voodoo lagfix turned on. If you turn voodoo off, the old installer will probably work fine. All I've done is removed the update-binary file and changed the update script so that it works for us now for EB01 voodoo. The update-binary/updater-script method of creating flashable zips is not as cross-compatible as the update-script format.. The flashable zip that I've included should be compatible with all other froyo builds for the fascinate, including DL30. And while I don't know this for sure, I believe it will work for most other phones on Froyo that use ClockworkMod Recovery as their recovery as well. If you know otherwise, please correct me.
Remember that anything you do to your phone is your fault. I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong. There is a risk to anything you do when using any sort or recovery on your phone, and while this file is virtually harmless, it's always good to make a nandroid backup before modding your phone in any way. This is tested on DL30 and EB01 and works fine, but it never hurts to play it safe.
Also, the original Hulu.apk that was included in the flash_hulu_installer_v3.zip was version .3 of the Hulu app, and it did not allow for screen rotation. I replaced the Hulu app included in the zip with Hulu 1.0, which does allow for screen rotation and full-screen viewing. The separate install of Hulu.apk that lucas.scott attached to his post is not needed here.

Don't go to hulu.com to watch hulu after flashing this in Recovery. You still can't watch hulu shows from your browser by going to hulu.com (at least not from stock browser). This zip installs an app that you open and watch hulu from. So instead of using browser, look in your app drawer for an app called Hulu. Open it and try watching something from within the app. Should work just fine then.

The other version worked fine for me on EB01. Just had to go into the market and uninstall updates for Flash.
After reading more comments on Lucas.Scott's original thread, it appears that the old installer works fine if you're not using voodoo lagfix. So you probably dont have voodoo enabled and thats why it worked. The zip I included, however, will work with voodoo enabled and disabled, so for those that have voodoo enabled, this is what you need to get the zip installed correctly.
Worked fine for me but took two installs? Thanks SO much for this!

Are you using the hulu app to watch hulu, or are you trying to watch hulu by going to hulu.com in stock browser? The app should let you watch hulu fine, but stock browser won't work because hulu.com can detect that you are on an android device (because stock browser does not allow you to fake your user agent like xscope or dolphin browsers will.. you just have to change your user agent setting in one of these browsers to mac or pc or something other than android), and as of right now hulu does not allow android devices to view flash videos on the site. That is why we need the hulu.apk.. it fakes user agent and allows us to watch anything from hulu.com. Some 3rd party browsers would probably work too, however.

Although I made it for the voodoo fascinate users, since the old installer didn't work on voodoo'd EB01, it should be compatible with most any phone that is running froyo and has ClockworkMod Recovery.

Works great, watching Family Guy at work!
I'm not sure if anyone has encountered this but I'm getting force closes whenever I try to stream Google Music on 3g. It works great on wifi. I have uninstalled/reinstalled, fixed permissions, cleared cache, the works - to no avail.
I had read elsewhere that the problem lied in allowing ad blocking (using an app to block ads). I was using JRummy's Android Overclock to block ads and do some tweaks on the build.prop file so I made sure to enable ads, then I uninstalled the app. Too bad the problem still occurs.
I'm trying to see if the issue lies on the build.prop file. Does anyone have a clean, unaltered build.prop file for 2.3.3 they can share with me? I would love to see if some of the tweaks I made caused the problem.
Thanks in advance!
-Javier
I am at work right now and just moved the clean 2.3.3 from my dropbox but when I get home tonight I can bring up both and let you know. As an FYI I have no issues streaming on my non-root device but have not tried rooting since the latest update. I usually give stock about 3 months before I ****-can it.
Just looked around using log me in and I might not have that one anymore. Gotta do some digging but I will see what I can get for you.
Here is a fresh never upgraded 2.3.3 file from a device that has always been 100% stock
Thanks for the file! I just tried it and I still get the force close on google music. HOWEVER, i couldn't stream amazon music, either, and now it works.
One last favor : I'm hoping you have a stock HOSTS file (in the ../system/etc folder). If so, what values do you have? I have 4 different lines in there. If you have less, can you send me that file or post the values? I think that is the file where the ad blocker holds the values to block.
Thanks again. I really appreciate it.
this is one of the reasons that i am going to flash back to froyo.
debloated v6 supercharge froyo >>>>> debloated v6 supercharged gingerbread
i kept my wife's x2 at rooted froyo. i was antsy and flashed p3's gingerbread. i now have android version envy. newer is not always better.
I have to sorta agree with you. Gingerbread didn't seem like such an improvement
BTW, here are the values I have in my HOSTS file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
0.0.0.0 local
Are these the values that stock gingerbread (or froyo for that matter) have in this file?
Can anyone confirm?
Thanks
UPDATE: I kinda bricked my phone doing some stupid stuff so I had to SBF.
Now that I'm back to normal, I checked my HOSTS file and all it should have in it is the first line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Now my google music works flawlessly.
If anyone has any issues with their gmusic not streaming on 3g, make sure to go to this hosts file and make sure that's all you have in there.
Hope it helps someone out there.

I'm using adfree with a hosts file about 650k with no problems streaming. I don't think it is related to adblocking, but could be due to bad addressing in the hosts file.
I've tried everything I can think of or find in this subject but I can't figure it out.
I'm getting FCs all over and seemingly randomly.
There's no one program doing it either.
I've used cyanogen 7 7/17 version with glitch kernel (both 11 and 12) and the v3 kernel. Maybe the stock but I don't remember.
Also flashed the dl09 or which ever radio was recommended for cm7 on the ROM list sticky.
Tried the nighties and am on not the recent one but the one right before it with stock and glitch 11 and 12. Also tried before and after v6 super charger which seemed to make my launcher before faster and without the stopped responding dialog.
I also use the ultimate kernel removing script between kernels.
Here's what I've already done to try to fix it:
Wipe big 3. fives it for awhile then starts up in force.
Wiped to stock 2 or 3 times. Still happens.
Fixed permissions. Works longest so far but still starts up again later.
Wipe cache and data in manage applications settings menu for creasing programs. Works for a while usually but then goes
back to crashing.
I followed ask instructions to install everything properly.
The only thing is that
do I need a special bootloader with nighties and stock kernel?
What am I missing here? It seems like it's related to wifi because I can keep things stable a little longer with wifi off but it is not always 100%. Definitely related to internet. Also seems like the cache reaches 2-3 megs when programs crash
browser seems to be more likely to crash. Will crash constantly and I'll open up Firefox or opera wends everything is peachy. I think neither ox those browsers crash from what I can tell.
Oh and could it be gapps somehow. I'm not sure but it might be a case built that all the crashing programs are gapps.
I've tried the new version 2.2.5 I think posted somewhere and the original 2.2.3 I think. I'm pretty sure they both crash.
I'm maybe to frustrated to see what's right in front of me and I maybe have forgotten an important detail so please forgive and I'll be happy to provide any info.
This is near perfect and that's the thing that's holding me back right now.
Anyone else have this happen to them? Any advise?

How did you originally come to cm7..ie. What was your previous rom and kernel prior to making the switch?
What steps did you take to get to
mtd format?
And lastly I read your whole OP but am still unsure if you've tried Odin'ing a stock VZW official rom to start from scratch? (ie. Eb01,dl09, or ed05)
Edit: Also did you restore any apps or system data via titanium backup?

I've come to cm7 at least twice from a stock froyo ROM. I followed the directions in the sticky exactly. At least twice.
I did restore titanium but not from non-mtd. I reinstalled every app one by one after upgrading.
I'm thinking it might be the wrong gapps. If browser is a part of gapps, I'd betting on it then. It seems the fc's might all be related to
the various gapps.
That's the only thing that I can think if that I haven't tried.

Here's the latest gapps.zip includes market...don't know if you've tried this oneand I don't think it contains anything for the browser, but i'm not sure...its for Mtd builds.

Edit: i'm also assuming you've ran fix permissions via cwm or terminal emulator right?

I'm making you assume a lot, sorry. Yeah. Did all that.
I'm trying to isolate it. I'm seeing that the force closings are maybe not so random.
It's the browser, google services framework and programs that I guess rely on browser. They are programs that access the http protocol. Reddit/f5, Chan browser etc. I've yet to have a program crash that was not accessing the internet like chuzzle.
Gmail does sometimes too.
Anyway, if they fc I go into manage applications and usually clear cache for the offending program Anne it works again until the cache gets up around 2 or 3 megs give or take.
I know people have been complaining about the data cutting in and out on this ROM so maybe that's involved.
I originally thought it was wifi because it seemed to only happen on wifi but i'm getting it on 3g but not as often.
I'm thinking that the data appears to be on but isn't and it's confusing programs but then there would be others with the problem. The other theory is that my cache space is fried.

In case someone finds this buried down here with the same issue, here's how I think I fixed it.
Wipe data again. Make sure you let the gapp installer install everything itself.
Titanium backup: restore missing apps (double check for went google apps) and data. Or hand install your apps and restore data.
I have the install location set to original.
That seemed to work even with the seeming wifi cut out and the whole thing.
I also didn't install Firefox or opera this time. That shouldn't be the problem but i'm recording it here anyway just in case.
Good luck
