Couple of Silly Questions:
1). Is it possible to modify the open source ROMs available to use TouchWiz? I happen to be in the minority that like it. If not, however, no big deal.
2). Question for those that have flashed a new rom: Is it possible to get the Avatar app and the Sims 3 app to continue to work? Or do they just work out of the box?

It depends on what you mean by open source. Eugene373 was playing around with an AOSP build for the Vibrant, but it hasn't gone much of anywhere lately. His latest custom roms (Vibrant9/VibrantR3) were built primarily for getting rid of as much of Touchwiz as medically possible and they are basically stripped down and customized versions of the stock ROM. CyanogenMod 6.1 is the only other open source ROM being worked on and it's still in alpha. I don't see Cyanogen or any of the team members working on our port caring about Touchwiz as it sort of defeats the purpose of stock Android in the first place.
The basic point behind custom or aosp roms is that you don't like Touchwiz and prefer stock android, so it's a bit of a self-defeating strategy to think about adding back what the mods are deliberately removing.
If you like Touchwiz (as I do) then I'd say stick with stock and tweak/customize from there. It's too much work to approach from the other end and makes little sense. I'm basically stock, rooted, lots of the bloatware removed, MobileAP and the Captivate Camera installed, EXT3 lagfix...and that's about it. Phone is smooth as butter.
If you are running a custom rom, it is possible to simply push back the Avatar "app", as it's just a shortcut to the movie file on the sd card. You can also just run the VideoPlayer and start it from there regardless, so I guess that's a matter of preference. I got rid of the pointless icon. The Sims 3 install apk can be found in one of the system dump threads in the development section.

CM wallpapers are inluded as system wallpaper, DSP Manager, CM stats are some to mention. These are pretty ordinary this needs a long work yet to be done.

Nice!
Problems:
- seems that graphics driver is in software mode
- headphones not works... plugin not detected, but unplug is ok - music stops and etc, as it should be in normal.
- CM settings? where are they ? no menu item in settings menu. no icon in applications...
- Random hangs of touch-driver... only device restart helps.
Believe most of problems comes from StreakDroid 2.0, but overall thats great! Thanks!
Give the guy a break, at least it's one more person trying to develop for the Streak 5 !
Hey dude, give the guy a break... he did say he has a lot of work ahead of him. What have your released for the Streak lately?
Man,
What happent with the version you were developing couple days ago? The one based on steve's 1.9? I was asking for another mirror, I was pretty happy with ur first version, was looking to download the second one. Did you retired that project for good? I cannot find that thread in here.
Maybe you can point me to download your rom, second version.
Thanks in advance
Cheers mate,

clockworkmod zips of frameworks and services.odex for the past 5 or 6 roms to give them a gingerbread look.
i agree, atleast theres one more guy whose trying to develop something for streak rather than ****ting on others tryd work
Totally agree! Thanks to the OP for contributing to the community. @Krad you should be encouraging any future talent not putting people down

lol oooo.. someone knows how to use the kitchen!!... lmao. you know, that thing SOMEONE ELSE made so ANYONE can change their framework?
seriously, youd have to have down syndrome to eff it up...
basically what you said is the equivalent of something like being the tallest midget in the circus. oooo.. lmao
Nice effort!
Well, OP you doing good.
this is your second attempt (as I know of).
and I am sure, with some more research you will do really good!
Dont lose focus
and, make Streak better !
God Speed.
and, yes, if someone finds it so ****ty, its not really so compulsory to download, nor is it to post, if you are really not positively contributing to the matter!
We like it, appreciate it, and are willing to help in development!
Period.
Good Work OP.
Do share some notes on, how you do stuff, may be we can develop faster - together!
That's surely if you wish to!

P.S.
so you basically just took someone else's work.. threw some minor graphics on to it and released it?

So, all the ROMs start off like that, and development on performance and algos make it a custom ROM!
there is no single ROM thats being written from 'scratch', is there?
Dont pick on the effort Krad!

no mattter how much noobies put their glowing references on this, this is not CM7.
it is a couple of very minor changes to sd 2.0.. adding some apks to system/app.
along the same lines as changing a bit of framework in a kitchen, in fact I'd say it took less effort than that.
Also RootExplorer is a paid app, including warez into Roms is not accepted

Yes this is not CM but I was tryin to get some extra features on already awsome streakdroid like DSP manager importing libs into system from CM got DSPManager working on streakdroid with clearly differentiable soundfx and I was able to check that through by bluetooth stereo headset & phone speaker only because wired stereo headset still not produce any sound(updated libs version I hav not yet uploaded because not many people will find it useful untill sound output issue is fixed) in fact I need some help from experienced developers like you on the sound output issue through regular stereo headset , I am also looking for browser from CM7 & root explorer will be removed from next version ,Thanks if you can help out....

You don't have a clue. Have you even tried the kitchen on the streak? There is zero customization that works with the streak. Once the kitchen is used it has to be dissected, graphics altered, odexs fixed for text color and other tweaks. You don't have a clue.
FARDS said it best.
I can take 5 minutes and take bits and pieces of cm7 apks, some from galaxy s 2 and some htc files and simply drag and drop them into djsteves roms... or I could even do it to a stock rom... does that make it a new rom?
What he accomplished here could easily be done by making a flashable clockworkmod zip.
I would love to see more cooks for the streak but would love to see a real effort.
If modifying frameworks and odex files are so easy to do with the kitchen, why is there only three people including myself that have released it? Jhotman...baldylocks....

HI FOLKS THIS IS MY FIRST POST. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WORK AROUND JACPOTCALVIN ROM TO PUT ON FLIPBOARD( WHICH IS FROM GALAXY SIII ) AND ICS DIALER AND ZEAM LAUNCHER WHICH MAKES IT REALLY COOL. WITH THE ICS DIALER IF YOU HAVE SKYPE IT LINKS THE DIALER TO SKYPE MAKING THE PLAYER A REAL VOIP PHONE IN THAT IF YOU HAVE SKYPE CREDIT YOU CAN MAKE CALLS RIGHT AWAY AND ALSO ALL 800 NUMBER ARE FREE TO CALL.
THIS WHERE THE ORIGINAL ROM IS :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575147
THE remade ROM IS HERE
http://depositfiles.com/files/91y8lnnyb
PLEASE YOU HAVE TO BOOT INTO CWM AND INSTALL AND ALSO VPLAYER WORKS WELL ON THIS ROM ESPECIALLY TO VIEW ESPN VIDEOS. THE MUSIC PLAYER WORKS FINE. ON THE ORIGINAL ROM IT DOES NOT WORK.
MY THANKS GOES TO JACPOTCALVIN, ENTROPY( FOR HIS KERNELS) AND ADAM OUTLER.
Love this.
But
Physical keys won't work, they lite up, but no function.
Cant figure out how to patch with noisy fox's patch.
Cant figure out how to load in ICS virtual keys. ( this would solve the physical key issue )
I think its all pretty much cause I'm INT and I'm sure this is a USA rom.
Any ideas anyone ? Im kind of a n00b still. Ive been on here for hours flashing rome and rebuilding zip's making new ones. I have no real clue what I'm doing, just what I've figured out loading rom's on my other devices.
Any help would be awesome

Hi all,
I have quite a bit of developing experience but unfortunately have no idea how building roms works. Since now HALO from the PA rom is open source I was wondering if it has been ported as an APK. If it hasn't I was wondering if any kind folks out here know what needs to be done to port it and if anyone was willing to help. I understand pop up mini apps are not possible, and thats not what I am looking for. I just wanted the chat head style notifications. Also I know there is an app that does this, but I like the HALO implementation better, plus who doesn't like choices.
Thanks.
Just a friendly bump. If anyone perhaps knows how I can email someone from PA or knows any other dev who could help me out I would be much obliged.

I developed this ROM for TF101 2 months ago. So I've some experience with it.
So anyway, Its not ported as an APK file. Don't think all things in Android are an APK file. Its coded by Paranoid Android developers in the Android System. Then the HALO is being added into the Settings app, by modifying and adding some java and xml files in it. Then it need some time to test whether its working or not. If you want to know how the ROM build works, you can just Google for it.
If you want to see their work go to Paranoid Android github. That's the source for the ROM.

Yup, I know it was baked into android and isn't an app, but I was wondering if anyone knew how I could make it a standalone app. But thanks for the heads up, now I know where to look for all the code that HALO uses. I think it may be a fairly comprehensive code rewrite but Its worth a shot.
You might want to try these.

Yup I have seen those, the halo app is an addon that lets you pin apps to halo when you run a PA rom. The second has a very different execution style.

Thats not an app for HALO. That jus selects apps to be pinned n trigered.
And the 2nd 1 looks like halo but is not HALO at all
I know this is rather late, but I have been looking at the code lately and I was wondering if anyone has made any progress or has some deeper insight. I haven't been able to try because my computer is on its last legs and I wont be able to work on anything till it is replaced later.

Hi,
on first I would like to thanks the dev for their amazing work.:good:
I try almost every custom roms compatible with my phone 5839i and I notice something weird.
Every time I tried a CyanogenMod 7.2 based rom I can't use Sygic software. It makes graphic artefacts when I use the touch buttons of the phone.
GPS works fine.
I'm very sad because I need absolutely GPS nav and I have to stay on stock based rom in order to make Sygic working fine.
Does any body else ran into this problem ???
Could someone reconsider this ?
Thanks in advance.
