Previously I found a great thread that someone had created that included a number of great tweaks for the stock rom and not able to find it again. Does anyone know which thread I'm talking about by any chance?
Damn me for not bookmarking.
This one perhaps? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454340

I am currently playing around with customizing my own rom for personal use based of the plain de-odexed rom. I have added various packages like:
Camera mod
oc4 1.2 jac kernal
mobileAP
some custom themes and fonts
swype with voice icon
GPS files from leak
ect
My question is with all the main roms (eugene and Bionix) released there are always references to "Build.prop mods for better data throughput", how can I take JUST THOSE CHANGES and port them into my rom. Is it as simple as using abd pull and push with certain files? Do I need someone to make me a flashable zip package?
Also I noticed eugene in his latest build used a different camera and would love to try that is that just as simple as adb pull and pushing the camera apk?
Any help provided would be truly appreciated I am still kinda a noob.
Also just to be EXTREMELY clear this is only for my personal use and basic knowledge. I wish to take nothing away form the absolutely stellar work these guys do everyday, I simply have some different preferences then the main roms created and would love to learn to take the advantages of each rom and customize them to my own needs.
No one can help me out?
Should I ask in dev section as no one here seems to have any ideas?
I'm in same boat
I am doing the same.i noticed in bionix build.prop the symlinks. I like that.but he also references a "jit" did they port a jit? that would rock
My son wants to mod his Thunderbolt, 2.2.1. and put on Sense 3.0
I personally have a Samsung Captivate and have got that working well but seems to be quite a bit different than the TB.
I haven't been able to find a clear path of exactly what needs to be done to get through getting a kernel and a mod. Does anyone know of a web page that gives step by step instructions to make this happen?
I also read several other posts on recommendations for which one to install but as he wants (he thinks) the Sense 3.0 does that limit the choices?
I dont understand...do you want instructions on creating your own ROM that uses sense 3.0? Or are you looking for something already made for you to use?
If its the latter there are sense 3.0 ROMs out there. Look in the development section and you can find them.
Here is the one that I use:

steps
The phone is off the shelf and nothing done to it. For the Samsung there are "Hack Packs" that basically help you download and install the mods and kernel.
I don't mind reading the directions, but I haven't been able to find a set of instructions that says what to do.
I assume I have to install a kernel. On the Samsumg its SpeedMod and that works good. What do I do on the HTC TB?
Then on the Samsung I download the ROM and from the SpeedMod I can install it. How do I do this on the HTC?
I guess somewhere in all of these postings there is someone that has step by step instructions, but I can't find them.
THANK YOU for any help!
In order to be able to mod your phone you will need to gain root access. Directions are here.
Then you can go ahead and search the site for the ROM that you want. A full listing is here.
Read the instructions, some ROMs require the MR2 or MR2.5 radios. The above link lists to those as well.
As for kernels, all ROMs come with a custom kernel included that will work with that ROM. If you want to try another kernel the above link lists them out as well.
Thank you very much!
You're going to want to use BAMF RC4. www.teambamf.com. Great stable Gingerbread Sense 3.0 ROM. Use the latest radio with this ROM.
Hi.
I'm a noob myself but you can find posts on how to root your phone. ( I did the easy way). http://www.droidforums.net/forum/thunderbolt-hacks/141936-auto-root-unroot-htc-thunderbolt.html
And i've flashed every rom out there for the thunderbolt. My favorite one by far is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110820
Its the fastest one, stable, reliable, great on battery. Its the best.
The developer is doing a great job fixing all the small issues.
As for now the only issue is the camcorder but he just posted that he fixed it.
Beside that it is just great.
Sense 3.0, Netflix, skype, talk....you name it....everything is there.
maybe you shouldn't start with this one.... I miss flashing new roms . now I really have no reason to do it.
This rom is the best!!!!
wow thanks for the extra info!
Hey everybody!
Now as there are a lot of ROMs for our S2 it's quite hard to decide which one to take. To make it easier for someone who's still searching it would be nice to know which ones are the most used ones.
I won't put any versions here, just the main name cause the versions change very fast
So, which ROM do you prefer and are you using at the moment?
Why do you use it?
Double thread, why?

Because he didn't know how/if he could make a poll. It's quite clear if you read the redundant thread
Is there any quick summary of the key features of these kernels? I'm finding the ROM threads a little light in the first post on features and limitations. I know it's subjective, but it would be nice if someone could collect a 2 line summary of each rom. Along the lines of [perf/power] [de/odex] [stock apps/minimal apps]. Also if they are supported only with a specific kernel or not.
leomar for me is the best! if you read the topic of this rom, you will see that the developer is also creating the revolution app...i suggest to stay informed about this rom!
i like cognition S2. always up to date.
Self adapted Cognition 1.2 with added boot /sounds /ringtones/ home brew CSC Hardcores Kernel .

Hello people im a noob i know, but ive searched the entire forum ive read the threads on developmente with [ROM], but i can never download a working rom, what m i doing rong, are you all hiding the roms.
P.s - After following several tutorials i have rooted and installed rom manager and clockworkmod on my viewpad7 so i just cant find any roms to test it, thank you in advance.
Anyone, really i can find the place to download them, i found a link to a paid website, and then it says private, other then that nothing.
Can anyone help me ??
Is that a big secret ?
Im still searching, can someone give me a reliable link ? PLEASE
Welcome, I'm not sure which specific custom ROM for the Vpad7 you are looking for, it would help if you can be spell it out ...
You are aware that newer ones are ITE (multi-touch screen) hardware/firmware based and older/generic/other name-branded ones are non-ITE, and the few Roms developed mostly in 2011 are distinct for each group.
Any and all files, including ROMS, patches and downloads housed on multiupload.com sites have been DOWN and unavailable as those servers have all been offline and shut - for good apparently, as in permanent. (Goggle for what happened, as you obviously are unaware as newbie around here ... as I won't go into details)
The EU V1.7b (ITE verison) is available via my dropbox as OP has been away & will have a new link up shortly - see below & perhaps you will better understood.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224825&page=31
Another recently posted ROM - KWBR V3.2 based on U.K. ROM (also for ITE) and is available for use, I successfully downloaded it & used it briefly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386469
FlintFire_V1.0 zip download seemed to be available as it's also housed on a DropBox account
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236988
These should be adequate to get started - read, read & read first, then - backup before proceed at your own risk and speed with OP's instructions. Good luck !
Thank you so much for the answer, as for those websites being closed, yes i know whats happening, im not that newbie .
My viewpad is ITE, and i had it rooted and installed clockworkmod, so im not looking for any specific rom, i just want one that would increase the performance and mainly the speed of my vpad7, so what you recommend ?
Still cant really find any usefull link.
Thank you in advance.

I use EU V1.7b ITE ROM as my favorite ROM of choice, developer is back and one of the best around here for the Vpad7.
The CPU has practical limits and hardware cannot be overclocked at this point, performance is optimized AFAIK - YMMV.
Don't know what else to say about it ... Happy searching to you on "any usefull link"
Thank you for all, im finally getting some working links, sucessfully downloaded and still trying kwbr Viewpad 4.0.
Very strange, its installing without asking everything i had before even very old stuff that i had uninstalled long time ago, but i did erase all the cache before loading this ROM, is this normal ?
Never mind, fixed it , i just set everything to factory settings because i noticed the account was not syncing, now i have the ROM kwbr working with the account syncing, im installing whatever i want, everything working fine its even faster.
First thing first, Yes I am a noob. I am trying to learn how to build custom roms. I already created a working rom based off of the UCPLC5 leak. I pretty much just deleted apk files and zipaligned the rom. I am wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me figure out where to find fix'x and mods such as accurate battery mod or 5ghz wifi fix. Is there a website that I need to look into? I have tried searching google to no avail. I also tried the search here but I am unable to get any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
you're on pretty much the only resource you need.....learn how to search, thats all i can say, because there is no 'directory of mods/fixes'.....

Task did 90% of the work, you just tweaked that base.
Learn to grab the untouched firmware and extract, deodex it then start working from that.
If you are working on a i9100 base, it would be best to check there forum section.
Deodexing and a number of the basic porting fixes are covered in my guide in the Development section.
5 GHz wifi fix doesn't apply to AT&T bases unless AT&T ****ed up on an epic scale, it's only for ported European firmwares. That's covered in the guide too.

More than that....more like 99.5. I wouldn't even call it tweaking yet.
