I have wondered about the bloat people talk about concerning cm7. It seems pretty fast and not many apps like some think.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Beejis:
Why are people rating it low without it even being released, quit being lame and give it a chance!
[EVO 4G Android Development] slawson:
Rom Manager to me is bloat, as well as torch, and adw.

In my opinion.

In fact I don't even like livewallpapers, truthfully.. lol.

first release, released. check OP for download link.

This is first release mind you i'm somewhat of a noob, so please don't flame me too hard, Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
not sure about the evo, but on nexus s if you remove rom manager from cm7, then install it from the market, it fc's.
[EVO 4G Android Development] knucklehead_11:
Thanks for the work. Just may give this a try. Will wait a day due to me just getting done flashing a rom today.

I've always been a fan of cm, especially without bloat.

If Vaelpak doesn't want to respect Google's request, that is up to him/her. Is there a thread for Vaelpak GB on XDA?

I doubt Google is going to hunt down everyone to the ends of the earth for baking in their apps. I just know from experience that XDA respects licenses and will close threads that can lead them into legal trouble.

The down votes, I guess, are because anyone can delete some .apk files and add the few simple things OP added (probably with dsixda's kitchen).
[EVO 4G Android Development] slawson:
Oh well, at least i'm trying, and not just leeching, lol.

Just because i'm removing apk's doesn't make me anyless then someone just adding apk's and adding a theme.

Just doing the opposite.

[EVO 4G Android Development] unknownrebelx:
While this is an insanely easy thing to do, I support you. More than likely, there are a ton of people that can't figure out how to remove APK's.

I'm on a Nexus One, but I recommended this rom to a friend (Evo 4G) who wants barebones cm7. We both have constant issues with running out of space in /system because of too many apks. I think this is a great attempt at solving that problem.

A word of advice though - you may want to mention in the OP that you are in no way affiliated with CM, and while your rom is based on it, they should not contact the CM team with any concerns if things get broken as a result of you removing apks. This might stop people from getting so annoyed at this rom. You know, just take responsibility instead of letting people blame the official CM team.

Thanks and good luck with the future of this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] linsalata28:
I like the idea of what your doing I might give it a try I've been getting more into aosp now that this forum is dying down so much .
[EVO 4G Android Development] slawson:
Took your advice refer to OP.

And thank you very much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
If you are running out of space on /system due to too many apks, you are doing something wrong or your phone is damaged. It isn't CM7's fault.

CM7 is nearly 1/2 the size of a Sense ROM, and ~1/3 the size of the newer 2.1/3.0 Sense ROMs. (eg ~300MB zipped vs ~86MB zipped)

I challenge you to prove that your /system partition has been come full after flashing CM7.

Here is my proof from a default CM7 install, which shows PLENTY of free space available. And this will NEVER change. All market downloads, cache, etc sit on the /data partition.

# df -h
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 207.2M 32.0K 207.1M 0% /dev
tmpfs 207.2M 0 207.2M 0% /mnt/asec
tmpfs 207.2M 0 207.2M 0% /mnt/obb
tmpfs 8.0M 0 8.0M 0% /app-cache
[COLOR="Red"][B]/dev/block/mtdblock4 350.0M 133.7M 216.3M 38% /system[/B][/COLOR]
/dev/block/mtdblock6 427.6M 84.9M 342.7M 20% /data
/dev/block/mtdblock5 160.0M 35.7M 124.3M 22% /cache

See that? /system: You get 350MB to play around with. This means, by default, the maximum size of the ROM you can install is 350MB. See that 2nd field? USED of that 350MB is a tiny 133.7MB. That leaves 215MB of free space on the system partition. And this will NEVER change (give or take a MB if you add scripts or such).

If you are doing it right, you will never run out of space on /system. All you do by deleting APKs from the ROM is shrinking the USED amount of the system partition. There is nothing wrong with deleting APKs, but doing it because you are running out of space on /system makes me wonder what you are doing wrong.

Yes, good article.

Don't get me started on the themed ROMs.

I know I've been giving you a hard time, but you seem pretty cool about it. Good luck to you, it seems you have a small fanbase growing already. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] slawson:
Thank you :D

And criticism is what moves people along, if all you did was compliment me, then i'd stay right where I'm at.

I'm compiling source now. so i'm slowly moving forward.

Also build-169 is coming along in a few hours.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Sry0fcr:
+1, I was doing this manually then switched to Evo Deck which has 90% of it done already. I'm not knocking, but there's not much to be gained by flashing this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rhodiggah:
Any word on the Speedy port?

Thanks...

[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
Honestly I gave this rom a shot to see if my 4g icon issue was fixed while running this rom and it was not but I like the speed and features. I have no problem switching over to this but let me ask you a question since my searching skills obviously suck for finding this particular issue. When I turn on 4g my signal strength is non existent and the icon does not turn green. When it does go green its for a hot sec then stays grey. Am I missing something and is this a bug with 2.3.5 because I just loaded up Salvage 1.4 again and this bug is not evident on their rom but its on Decks and yours.

I kinda like how this one runs so hoping someone can either steer me in the right direction to fix it or hopefully there is an update out there that does

Thanks man - I also support what you are doing, you are not re-inventing the wheel but you are trying to give back

[EVO 4G Android Development] slawson:

and astonished by what, he wants me to port my work to speedy, lol.

Newest build uploaded, major speed increase.
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
The CM rom has more options but whatever they did with 4g icons/status it works. I would ask them how they got theirs working. It may hopefully just be some files that can be zipped and updated
[EVO 4G Android Development] slawson:
It's a possibility that it's a visual thing, I'll ask them though, I doubt they'll help very much, don't have 4g in my area, working on 171 right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
No it's definitely a cm thing

Sent from my EVO rocking Evervolv Gingerbread
[EVO 4G Android Development] slawson:
What i'm saying is it could be a visual issue with the default cm images. The images for the 4g signal bars may not be present.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Not because of a 4g bug.
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
Yea its definitely something they did differently or definitely a different source is being used. All I know is they have the only 2.3.5 I have run without that bug...
[EVO 4G Android Development] slawson:
Didn't mean to incinuate that it was, I was just noting. if you have any advice, would leave to hear it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Gotcha, Well I don't use this or CM so I am not familiar with the issue. I couldn't give you any advise, since I am ignorant to the issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:

I have the same issue, my son put a pattern lock on the tablet and I don't know to what google account it is set to..Did you solve this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
Download the gapps from rom manager and flash it. You don't flash from bootloader if doing it manually, you "install zip from sd card" after you boot into recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] inversecow:
Hello Spastic909,

Thank you for the above response to the thread.

Understood regarding your suggestion, however it is not an option for me at this time.

I have attempted to re-flash CWM with the latest version within ROM Manager.

This did not result in a version change (v3.0.4.2) even though the device "appeared" to check and did not report any errors.

I say "appeared" as I am unconvinced the software actually is making a full connection (using my home wifi, which is confirmed to work).

I also note further unusual behavior within ROM Manager when I attempt to "Download ROM".

I get a prompt indicating I need to upgrade the ROM Manager application (You must upgrade your ROM Manager to the latest version!)

When I click on OK, I recieve a force close error (proces com.koushikdutta.rommanager has stopped unexpectedly).

This is coming from the version of ROM Manager (v4.2.0.2) that comes packaged with CM7 (7.0.3).

I do recall observing reports of this sort of behaviour elsewhere from CM7 users post installation.

With regards to rebooting into recovery mode, I have attempted this previously, which dumps me into the hBoot menu system.

I do note a "Recovery" option within hBoot, but the association with CWM appears to have been severed.

As a result of selecting "Recovery", I get dumped back to the hBoot menus with the only option seeming to work is "Reboot" which takes me back into CM7.

I have observed some users reporting a "terminal" option within hBoot, but this is not present in my case.

In summary, I appear to be in a difficult position.

I am unable to enter CWM via ROM Manager or hBoot.

I do not have the ability to flash the gApps which would give me the Android Market.

Without this, I am unaware of a method to upgrade ROM Manager & CWM to the latest release.

In addition, I am un-aware of a method to revert back to my last restore point, given the "Recovery loop" I described above.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
Have you tried to uninstall and then reinstall rom manager? Have you tried to adb into recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z General] inversecow:
Hello Spastic909,

Thank you for the above response to this thread.

I have not attempted to un-install/re-install ROM Manager at this time.

Specifically as I am unaware as to how I might source this APP to perform the re-install phase.

Upon examining the instance of CM7 installed on my device, I do note the ability to manipulate aspects of ROM Manager (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > ROM Manager).

However, I do not observe an option to "Remove" or "Uninstall".

What I do observe are as follows:

Force Stop

Cancel (greyed out)

Clear data

Move to SD card

Clear cache (greyed out)

Clear defaults (greyed out)

I am option to suggested options on this point.

With regards to leverage adb to access recovery, I have attempted this, however I only get as far as hBoot.

hBoot does offer a "Recovery" option, however it does not actually lead to CWM (or anywhere other then back into the hBoot menu system).

I have attempted to load some versions of recovery.img I found online, but these did not prove useful (hBoot association with Recovery corrupt?)

Thank you for your assistance thus far.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
So with adb you ran "adb reboot recovery"? Install titanium backup, remove rom manager, reinstall from market. See if that fixes it
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
Or download the new market in the apps&themes section. Then install all the google apps u want
[G2 and Desire Z General] inversecow:
Hello Spastic909,

First off, thank you for your continued suggestions regarding these issues. :)

I did indeed use 'adb reboot recovery', however this also leads to the hBoot menus described above (and no further).

On your suggestion, I sourced/installed Ti-Backup and this has permitted some progress on the matter.

Specifically I was able to force un-install ROM Manager via the Ti-Backup APP.

Once this was done I attempted to boot into recovery via adb (which lead to hBoot issue).

I sourced the latest ROM Manager APK from the dev website, and loaded this via adb (adb install $BLAH) and this also seemed to make some progress.

My new install of ROM Manager is at an increased version (4.3.3.0).

I do not note a version change for CWM (3.0.2.4).

I do note more ROM manager features are functional (ability to list/download new ROMs including the gApps & make selections within "All CWM Recoveries", both of which was not accessable before).

I am unclear on where you indicated to check for the Market APP to install with (apps & themes is located where?)

I did find a Market APK here in the forums, and was able to load to my phone via adb.

However, this version (2.2.6) failed to start (displays "loading" very briefly as in 1 second, and then returns to home screen).

As such, I was unable to leverage this APP to source additional pieces.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869964

It strikes me that the large issue (and perhaps the final one) is this hBoot menu looping problem.

For some reason unknown to myself, the "Recovery" option is failing to associate with CWM (or anything else that I can tell).

If this part of the problem can be resolved, I feel confident the rest of the pieces will fall into place.

Is this perhaps a case of a partially corrupted hBoot?

I did not personally make any changes to hBoot since when I rooted my device.

I ran the unit for some time post-rooting using the stock HTC Sense (Froyo 2.2) ROM with out issue.

I also was able to flash CM7 using the hBoot Recovery to access the instance of ROM Manager / CWM (current) I had in the Sense install (pre-CM7).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bharakrama:
Now that you have ROM Manager installed you should be able to download and install the google apps through it. This will give the Android Market. Within ROM Manager go to Download ROM -> Google Apps -> 20110613 Universal -> Download. ROM Manager should automatically start downloading the apps and then it'll reboot and install it through recovery. Once the phone has rebooted, you should have the Market installed.

But, if your phone is having issues booting into recovery then the Google Apps may not install at all. Just a matter of curiosity, which/who's steps did you use to root your phone and put ClockWorkMod on it? If you think your HBOOT has become corrupted, then I

think

you need to flash the RUU for your phone. By doing that it should return your phone to complete stock. Mind you this is a suggestion by basically a noob so if someone who is more seasoned agrees with me then start researching. You can start with the link below.

There's not an accessible API yet for accessing the WiMax radio - thus no toggle outside of the settings page. I haven't looked through the updated wimax code for 2.3.5, but I'd guess they didn't add public methods accessible via reflection (and it's not in the API either at this point).

[LG Optimus 2x] fenk1984:
hello guys,I am a ROM manager premium user. I purchase this only for making my nightly update easier (I don't like to download the ROM and sent to sdcard, especially for the nightly build). However, every times I got the update it ask for the google apps.If I accept then after everything is done, my account detail lost (I have never wipe anything expect installing cm7 at the first time!!!!!!!) . I need to reconfigure the account every day. If i deny it,then the google market would disappear after everything updated. I can't download anything without re-install google app at rom manager.That is really inconvenient.

Somebody tells me that the google market can be installed separately.Once I have done this. There is no need to do anything when I update the new nightly build. I have tried this way but at last I got a Android market without login function(even I setup the account at Settings->Privacy , it failed to connect the server). Without the Market I can't get my premium lincense back, and...........I could not imaging a android phone without market.That is really really.....something.

It seems that I should be go back to use MIUI(I used to be a MIUI fans when I still using my Moto Defy.After I tried the original CM7 on P990 I changed my mind!!)

I would be grantful if anybody could give me a solution about this. Thanks

[Milestone XT720 General] gu3vara:
Hi,

I wanted to know more about this, apparently it helps to stabilize the phone and doesn't affect performance that much on a level 6+ card and I have a 32 gigs level 10 sdcard.

Do I simply have to create a dalvik-cache folder at the root of my ext3 partition or is there a script to run so that the OS knows where to link?

Finally, might be a stupid question, say I'd like to restore the miuixt_final_v2 again on my phone, can I just do the same procedure again over the same rom version?

I can't install apps that aren't from android market and it working at first and I just can't figure why, so I was tempted to just restore the whole thing and start fresh.

I'd ask in the dev thread but I can't post there until I have 10 posts...

Thanks!!
[Milestone XT720 General] gu3vara:
For those newbie like me wondering, I used link2sd and I manage the dalvik-cache by applications now, works like a charm. I prefer it over app2ext because I can control what is going on even if it implies managing every application instead of having a background process doing it for you.

Did you try moving apps to SD from Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications? You could also use Install Manager (there is a Lite free version and a payed one in the market) to batch move apps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salty Wagyu:
Even with Oxygen r2 HBOOT I also ran out of space. I think you are meant to manually move some apps to SD from the Applications screen, primarily the ones you don't use so much or for when loading speed isn't important.

I moved a few games to SD (some games automatically went on SD, probably because they were over 30mb?), as well as Adobe Flash and Google Maps.

Note: I don't have an ext partition anymore, Android is moving those apps to FAT32.
