[Galaxy S II Android Development] 89luca89:
Here it is:

The GingerMOD

What's that?

This is an AOSPized Version of the STOCK firmware, for whoever wants an AOSP experience BUT don't want to renounce to Samsung experience! :D

What lead me to do that:

GPU Browser

TV-Out

FM Radio

TW Camera

Now thoose are the main reasons I wanted to start from a stock rom and Remove TW from it!

In fact here are the only "samsuningness" left:

Browser

Camera

Calendar

Radio

Task Manager

Dialer/Phone

So HERE is What the Rom Offers to you :D

AOSP Gallery 3D

AOSP Launcher 3D

AOSP Clock

AOSP Calculator

AOSP Email

AOSP Music Player

AOSP File Manager

AOSP MMS.apk

AOSP Sound Recorder

AOSP Live wallpapers (form nexus s :D)

AOSP Keyboard (modded to be BIGGER!)

AOSP Sounds/notifications/Ringtones (form nexus s)

AOSP Bootanimation

AOSPized Look of ALL the rom:

Original Ginger icons in Framework->

See The Screenshots in Next Post

!!

REMOVED ALL SAMSUNG APPS

So this Becomed Almost VANILLA gingerbread 2.3.6 :D

What is left to AOSPize??

Dialer/Phone.apk ---> I'm still working on having AOSP Contacts/Phone working, maybe in next releases!

The Goal of the Rom is

NOT TO HAVE A COMPLETE SAMSUNG EXPERIENCE

BUT To have THE BEST of What Samsung done IN AOSP ANDROID

STILL WANT SAMSUNG APPS???
