[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
i'm working 18 hours a day for a while so my free time is really limited. nothing personal to anyone here. i just am really tired and sleep when i can.

i do apologize.

i did what i could and made the rom - i'm sorry i dont know enough to make a recovery or kernel. i thought once the rom was made someone would pick up on the kernel and recovery.

i'm not sure i understand rom hacking. do you mean port a rom from another phone to this one? basically all thats left to do on this rom is the reboot/download/recovery options in the power off menu. this is only froyo - i dont know if there is much else that can be done.

obviously the hard part, getting a rom started, has been accomplished, since no one else had done it prior to this one and the phone was released 5 months ago.

i can go 66 hours before charging battery - not sure what is causing your issue. if you want to try - go into the /system/etc/init.d/ folder and delete the battery tweak. i'm betting its an app hogging up your battery. are you using a task killer or app manager? those were originally designed for eclair and done away when froyo was released, if i remember right.

the rom is pretty stripped as it is. if we can get a kernel/boot.img going we can add darktremors app2sd mod - which is amazing. new kernel = overclocking? really the benefit of the custom recovery at this point would be to make a nandroid backup - so with what we have now - i think the kernel should be priority - but thats just my opinion.

not really any sense in customizing the rom any more without focusing on a kernel - just my opinion. i mean, we have a rom now, lets finish the "beginning"? with a kernel.

but, i'm not your daddy, lol, do what you want. i'll rejoin the development when i can. at least 2 weeks out anyway.

as far as giving credits... LOL. who was it that created the rom to begin with? i mean - in comments i see "as far as credits.... arhtard i guess...." this wouldnt be here if i didnt take the time to brick 3 phones creating this "rom". i saw no one else posting any attempts or progress.

and i dont really understand removing things that are linked to a hard key on the slide out keyboard. just to save space. make a kernel and add darktremors app2sd.

releasing "roms" to save space seems like a waste of time to me when other things are more important. the htc ime keyboard mod i can understand, but the rest i do not. link2sd is in place with directions how to use it. space shouldnt be an issue at this point, but whatever makes you happy.

i didnt at the v6 supercharger script because we still have the stock kernel only. i only had time to make the rom itself. took me about a month or so and 3 devices to do that alone.

there are other scripts and mods i have available, but the original goal was to create a rom. now thats been done, i am working double hours. i will add tweaks asap.

i see posts about more development.. the rom is made, someone else take the initiative and do the kernel or recovery. or should i quit my 2nd job and make it? ringtones/apps should be last priority, boot screens, we need to have a finished project. just my opinion too.

as far as how a rom is put together. its usually done with the "firmware" and then its cooked with the kitchen - etc.

no firmware was available for this and the file structure was different than most samsungs so cdesai helped us determine which was what and i created a rom dump and went from there.

the conversations you're having about creating a rom we had 2 months ago. now its done. i'm still not sure whats trying to be accomplished there. u want a different bootscreen? change the bootanimation.zip to your choice. i wouldnt remove apps that are linked to actual hard buttons though. unless you want a few buttons that do nothing.

Now maybe a nice custom rom? - good luck on that - it took this long to get a stock froyo deodexed rom.

dont treat me like i'm an asshat. 5 months with nothing for this phone. i created the rom. do what you want with it, i dont care. just saying, remember where it came from and who made it possible. dont guess about it, know that if it weren't for me and cdesai, you wouldnt have this "rom". obviously, because its the first and the only one at this time. i think for me personally, i would have a little more respect for someone that took the rom and gave proper credit to where it came from when modding it. not post it without saying anything, like you did all the work. you wouldnt have anything to play with if i didnt brick 3 phones. i really have a hard time understanding how u can say or call it your rom "ams or whatever" when all thats being done is removing a couple apps and adding a couple apps. anyone and their brother can do those things. its not that big of a deal to me - i just dont understand it. maybe do something worth while and port cyanogen like you referenced earlier or create a kernel or create a recovery. you keep removing stuff and the phone is gonna be junk with a bunch of blank non responsive buttons. but, again, do what makes you happy. admit it though, its nice having something that works to work from? THANKS.
