The purpose of this ROM was to make the fastest, smoothest and best battrey life ROM out there. Even if the gains are maginal, they still are gains over all the rest of the ROMs out there.

on a side note, dude siul much respect to have you comment in my thread. id rather hear about the odex/de-oxed stuff from a real dev, instead of a link.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
How to appply these splash screen images above?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
If your talkin about the battery mods, save them to your sd card. boot into recovery and choose flash from zip. You flash right over the rom and it updates the framework
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dj2muchxx:
Is it possible to flash cyanogenmod settings onto this rom? Or somehow get them onto this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Can I recommend to at least leave one ringtone and one notification sound, preferably non-annoying and from the stock ones? It's a pain to have to get new notifications every time I wipe the phone. Plus, if I do when I'm not home (which is normally the case, with today being an exception) I won't have my computer near to get good ringtones. (I've tried many a ringtone app. They are all annoying there)

If anyone wants good, quality ringtones and notifications, may I suggest the stock Xoom (Honeycomb) sounds? They are futuristic, simple, and great.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dmarmstr:
Mind posting some of those sounds?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambolicuk:
Im in the UK, what would be the best way to remove wifi calling if possible and would it cause any issues? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
I used Titanium Backup I think. Did not cause any issues. You can also use rom toolbox to remove the app.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Please do, all the stock ringtones suck horribly.

Have u put any sounds onto the sd card?? Those will hold between wipes. I put the folders that need to be created in the OP
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
A and B sound like the same problem. Have u tried messing around in the messaging apps settings? turning vibrate to never should stop it.

I wish I could add into the vibrate setting an make an option that says "vibrate when no other **** is going on" its stupid to have to hit my **** off every time I talk to my district manager, he asks if there are any ducks around when we talk now. he thinks the vibrate sounds like a duck. his 1st call with me I got 3 texts, an now I get clowned on every time I c him. U raising ducks back there?

C I've looked into, I'm not sure wuts wrong with tmo mms, I've tried to use cm7s messaging but I need to modify the framework for that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
Just installed ver 1.5. So far so good. Will post impressions later.

Thanks for your hard work!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Use the mms.apk from my build, I fixed the sideshow issues :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
I get my sounds from the zip file on this thread. It can simply be unzipped and dropped onto the root of the SD card and it'll work, no problem.

The thing for me is that I tend to erase the SD card whenever I flash a new ROM; just a thing I'm used to. If we had at least one sound for each section (ringtone, notification, and alarms, which has one) we could be able to flash this without our phones becoming basically useless unless we look at them all day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tiwaz:
I really like the 1.5 version of this ROM it's great! In the meantime i've searched for another great ROM like the WP7 ROM and some Sense 3.5 ROMS but i couldn't use them longer then a day because it has bloatware slow interface and shorter batterylife!

However i saw that the battery indicator has changed in this version, it's now with a percentage indicator. Normally i would really like this but at this moment i prefer a symbol battery indicator. Maybe i overlooked it but is there a setting to change this to symbol only?

A few post above i saw someone asking how to delete the wifi calling, i've got an wifi calling delete addon for this. If you flash this with CWM over the ROM wifi calling will be gone. This works for every ROM. I don't know were i found it tho somewere on XDA credits goes to the developer!! Will upload it shortly on this topic.

Again, really really love this ROM it's the best out there!! Maybe it's an idea to create a bloat free Sense 3.5 ROM (only with the Sense framework without bloat apps) i would really like to see that as a variation on this ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Thx man, I still got more planned for the ROM. I just have to learn some more stuff.

If u don't like the battery mod I can make a flashable zip to return to stock. Try it out! I think its the best battery mod out there.

That would be great if u could post the wifi calling delete, it would help a bunch of ppl
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
I just noticed that whenever I connect my Plantronics Marque M 155 it works for phone and media audio the first time, but when I switch the headset off and the back on, it reconnects to phone audio but it wont reconnect to media audio. It only says "connectig..." in order to make it connect to media audio as well I have to unpair the headset and then pair it again. Anyone else experiencing this?

It's not a big deal as I don't listen to media on a mono headset, but the fact that it is trying to connect may be sucking the battery quicker

sent from my DZ
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tiwaz:
I've uploaded the Wifi Calling Delete add-on. You just have to install the zip after you installed the ROM and wifi calling will be gone! I don't know who created the add-on but all credits goes to the dev. I just re-uploaded it.

You can download it here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?0yf1pfva7cb698m

If the TS include this in the Topic it would be great :). If I can help you with anything else TS let me know as i'm studying for Software Developer so maybe I have some knowledge for use.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
You can also just delete the wifi calling using titanium. What's the differences between this rom and g lite?

Can this rom be oc'd?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Titanium can delete the app, the zip will remove all traces of wifi calling. I think there is a lib also???

Differences should be in the 1st post of each ROM, check features and the changelogs. I made this ROM because at the time there was no ROMs using the 2.16 base. So I rooted and stipped the 2.16 OTA down to the essentials. Then I learned some tweeks to improve battery life and to make the phone faster.

It uses the official HTC OTA kernel so there is no OC. Try it out! The battery life is crazy
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
heres how to delete the wifi calling, flash this zip. thank you tiwaz i will add it to the 1st post
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
ive finally changed ROMs!! im using [ROM][JAN 2] Ice Cream Sandwich for Desire Z [BETA8R5], but of couse i removed a ton of stuff. its smooth, fast and android 4.0.3. im thinkin on making an ICS Slim out of my custom build.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dmarmstr:
Do it please! Now if we could just get the camera on ics
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
I finished it and posted it, check it out! I love ICS. I'm not quitting on this ROM either, I have some stuff planned and im always up to fixing bugs that pop up
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tiwaz:
Will flash your ICS ROM today I think! This ROM is the best 2.3 out there i've created a new screenshot of my battery stats insane!

Let's hope we can get the same battery life with ICS :).

Keep it clean :).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
How's the battery life on that ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Its decent, about half the battery life of this ROM. Around 30hrs on full charge.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tiwaz:
I flashed the ICS ROM right after my last post however im back on the G2 Slim ROM. The ICS ROM didn't felt as smooth as the G2 Slim. Scrolling homepages felt slow, had some force closes. Gmail app was missing and couldn't install it from the market.

It's just an beta but i'll leave it for now maybe in a couple of months if the ROM made progress.

Can't get used to other ROMS as i can't get the insane battery life shown in my previous post.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
I testdrove GLite for a couple of days, not as smooth and fast as this one. Now I'm back on G2 Slim

Thanks for your work!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bogdan5844:
Does anyone have an idea how would I set a Live Wallpaper? The only options are Wallpaper or Gallery. :confused:

P.S: I am aware of the removal of live wallpapers. I installed one from the Market but it doesn't show up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
i removed live wallpapers completely, i wanted a super battery efficient ROM. Live wallpapers always sucked my battery dry. if u want i can add an ability to use them in the next release.

i always have a darker custom picture for a background. usually of some sick car, the darker background helps battery too. real bright backgrounds kill my display usage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
wow this is insane!!!!! ive never got past 58 hrs!!! im goin to add this to the 1st post, thx Tiwaz!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bogdan5844:
That'd be nice. I like the speed of this ROM, but I'm also a customization/looks maniac. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tiwaz:
No thank you s14mc for making it possible to get such great battery life! Is it possible for me to add Dutch language on this ROM? So i'm not asking for adding it for public but is it possible to add this language myself or is it really hard?

As I live in the netherlands and use this ROM day in day out. It would be nice to have it in my native language. Also every time I reflash this ROM i need to add the APN manually. Did you delete all APN's on purpose or just some of them?

Again thanks for your work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DroidCell:
Not an update in a while but This is my DD and my favorite rom!!! :)

Sent from... THE DARK SIDE!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
To add languages u need to edit the framework-res. This is based on a tmo ota so that's why there isn't any APN's. Ill look for a flashable zip to add global APN's
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Don't worry I still got an update planned
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] j21blackjack:
Ok, I searched around, but didn't see anything about my problem. I'm coming from a superwipe, complete reset. Randomly I lose all my ringtones and music. It's like the phone just forgets they are there. I can still see them with my file explorer, but I can't see the ringtone in settings or any music with any music app. Most of the time a reboot will fix it, but not everytime. I have no clue what could be causing this. It also happened on G2 Slim 1.2, that's why I wiped and updated to 1.5 hoping it would fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
hmm... im not sure, this has never happened to me. maybe a bad sd card? have u tried a different card?

ive had gallery problems in the past. not picking up photos that i had jus taken, but never ringtones and music not showing up.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
Just installed over previous ROM (wiped only Dalvik cache). It seems slow and the phone radio doesn't work. Will revert to v1.5 and will flash v1.6 when I have the time to do a full wipe and to reinstall all my apps.

Thank you,

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Installed 1.6! So far, so good!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChrisAshton84:
Came from the virtuous ICS rom - the superwipe wiped out part of my recovery (clockwork mod). It would boot up to the HTC logo but never reach recovery. I ended up having to fastboot flash clockwork mod again, and only made progress by first doing a full wipe in recovery, then flashing superwipe, then another wipe, then your ROM.

I don't know what the problem was caused by, but others might run into this, so be near a computer in case you need to fastboot!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
I added the livewallpaper picker in 1.6

Anyone know a way to install the email.apk application with this rom. I used root explorer change the permissions and still could not get the email app insttalled. I managed to install other system apps without any issues.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bleedingthru:
I cant get root explorer to stop fc'ing. Tried unstalling and everything still nothing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Just checking everything here, don't take it bad, but: is your copy up-to-date and legal?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bleedingthru:
Ya I bought it a while back have no idea why it keeps fc'ing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bleedingthru:


Any idea why my battery not lasting as long as I see in the threads? I have my brightness low sync and GPS off and haven't downloaded all my apps yet
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
U have to calibrate the battery, I don't have the virtuous battery calibration script. I wanted to let android do it. Also wut is all that stuff in ur notification bar??? Maybe that's it? I have brightness on low, autosync off, my gps and wifi is on.

Reception drains my battery like no other. At my work I have no bars in the back, and my battery tanks lookin for signal. Up front I have full 4g an my battery lasts days. At home I'm on wifi calling all day long, so no drain there at all really
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
That's funny mine works just fine, did u come from a full wipe?? maybe try file manager? Its free and I use it over root explorer
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bleedingthru:
Wiped battery stats thru recovery fingers crossed lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
u gotta full charge the battery, and let it drain competely at least once. then full charge it again
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bleedingthru:
Ya I know gonna play with it much as I can before I go to sleep and no charging tonite but I gotta ask one more question ......how much actual use comes out of your battery life ( text phone calls web games ect) thanks again
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tiwaz:
The screenshot on the first page is from me (the 3d 12h) and i use my phone normally. I have turned off display animations which will help alot (settings-display). I turned of auto brightness and i use a brightness widget to adjust when needed. Mostly it's on 25%.

I got transition effects on (got LP Plus) and have 5 screens full with apps and widgets. I sync as less as i can only whatsapp, Mail, Gtalk. I use internet all day long and have wifi settings on schortcut 2 so i can turn it on when i need it and off if i don't. By doing that I manage to get an extremely good battery life. GPS is off i turn it on if i use aura. Bluetooth is off turn it on if i need it. I use Advanced Task Killer Pro to kill my apps manually like the browser and so on. I have an ignore list of apps that need to be running like system apps and whatsapp/gtalk. Do not enable automatic killing on the taskkiller as it wil DRAIN battery.

This is normal usage for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] psergy:
Where you found email.apk for this rom?

I found application from android 2.2 but it FCing every time :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ACHILLES R32:
I extracted the email apk from the latest tmobile release, but could not get it installed even after changing permissions. So I tried the CM7.1 email apk and installed without any issues. I have attached the CM 7.1 email apk.

i got the whole root explorer thing fixed thanks for the tip tho !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Hey s14mc!

I've been getting some random reboots lately. Constantly. Also, sometimes the phone freezes, the screen goes dark, stops working and the keys light up. I have to do a battery pull to be able to do anything. Have you --or anyone else, for that matter-- had this happen?

Battery life is off-the-charts though. Impressed even more than I was with the previous ones. Happy user since version 1.0!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Wuts up man! That sucks, I've never had that happen with this ROM/cell. Maybe one of your apps is causing it??? I only have 12 apps on my phone, and never had a reboot.

Did u run the superwipe? Could be a bad flash maybe?? I would wipe and reflash and run with minimal apps to see if it still happens. I hope that's it man, this sounds like the exact same thing my old g1 started doin b4 she died.

Thanks rmcsc, I know u been here since day 1, I'm glad u like the ROM. Its my dd, without it my battery life don't get thru one day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Thanks man, knew we could get everything sorted out. Don't forget the thanks button!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
I'll clear up most of my apps (or, better yet, reinstall the ROM) and run it with few apps for a few days so I can test if it's apps or ROM/device.

Yes, I always use Superwipe since you recommended it. Clearing out all caches is important. ;-)

I am from germany

I am not sure about the T-Mobile Radio file

Yes you can. Afaik ROM and Radio are separate, if you flash this rom you will keep your Radio untouched.

Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong

sent from my dz

Your right, this is just a ROM. The recommended radio is 4.19 because the .rils that came packed with the ROM match that radio. If that makes sense.

ICS-like Theme for G2 Slim v1.6 (BETA)

I would like to introduce ICS-like Theme for G2 Slim.

It is changing colors and parts of UI to be more like in ICS. If you like black'n'blue style of ICS, but you don't want to change rom - this is for you.

It's a early, raw version of theme. There's a few bugs, but I don't have a time to fix them now.

Screenshots:

http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/58371163/1/g2slim-ics_theme?h=e89df1

How to apply:

You need to have adb on your computer and enabled debugging mode on your phone.

1st:

_MAKE BACKUP OF YOUR ROM_

Then:

Open cmd/console on your computer, go to the folder with .apk files and framework-res.apk and just push them all to your phone using adb command:

adb remount
adb push Browser.apk /system/app
//do this for all other apps, just change name eg. to Contacts.apk etc
adb shell chmod /system/app/*
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot

(I will make an update package later, so it will be easier to apply)

Attempted to restore a backup using 4ext and although it is a 4ext ROM, the backup re-installed it as 3ext and I was not able to successfully make it 4ext.

Trying to see if it is Rom or Recovery related.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
this is a ext3 rom, I'm tryen to figure out how to make it ext4, that's gonna be part of the next update. I almost got it but it won't boot.

I've been messing with it for a while, I even linked a test ext4 build one time in place of the stable 1.5 and had to fix the links!
