They can evolve into time bombs, be very very careful! Make sure you never anger your GS2 or it will take your life when you least expect it.

To all the people criticizing me I added a second thread to edit the title. The bootanimation was in the last thread too. Nothing to do with it.

Credits to

Cyanogen for his rom

Modaco for his launcher

The bootanimation I'm not sure who made it but thank you :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
I posted a second one because i did [Rom] this way but i realized every other developer does it this way [ROM] lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
No they don't, adding a boot animation does not warrant the opening of a second thread for your "ROM"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 00McD00:
I'm sorry sir, but spending the 5 minutes it takes to open up a zip file and delete some apks that you don't like does not qualify this as a custom rom. I see and appreciate your effort in trying to contribute, but this probably didn't need to be posted.

Edit: also, you can change the title of your thread by simply going to "edit" and "advanced".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
What do you suggest i do otherwise CyanogenMod is perfect in every aspect except the themes and slight bloatware so this is a "Custom Rom" because it has been modified to "Custom specifications". Also every rom is a variation of another. Virtous for example is just a variation of sense. So to the conclusion what should i do to this rom make it custom? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
This screenshot is also a proof of concept that my modifications are beneficial.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambolicuk:
This could be just what im after is it stable? And would the overclock cause me any issues?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
edit, post removed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
No disrespect at all but this does have a little "custom" rom in it but its not that much to say.

If you compiled the rom from cm source like myself and then make your own changes to the source that aren't in the source at all then it'll be a custom rom because its your own work that makes it slightly different.

If you added your own scripts to it then its a custom rom as long as its YOUR scripts or someone else's script but you need to ask for their permission to use it.

If you optimized the apks, then its your own changes.

Also if you want to make it into a ics theme or ics apps then incorporate the necessary apps and then theme the rom itself from a ics theme apk which is time consuming

Hope this gives you some advice
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I may have moved on from g2 but helping is sharing haha whoops xP
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
There's no need to make more than one thread for your rom. Just edit the OP and make the necessary changes to that post
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
It is the stock one that comes with cm7 at 1516mhz it is completely stable. I am proving that my optimization worked.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
So whose kernel are you using? Pershoot? Umaro? Or stock kernel

Btw you need to give credit and thanks to those who contributed to this rom or its basically kanged
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Cimer:
Quadrant scores don't prove anything, they can be faked easily. I'm not saying that you're faking them, I'm just pointing out that Quadrant scores are not the best thing to prove anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rsxtypes72:
Im glad im not the only one that feels this way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
The below post correct the issues everybody has pointed out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
I did not fake my quadrant score.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
The kernel is the cm7 stock one and thank you for pointing that out I have given all the credit to everybody who contributed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Your still missing a few more important people
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Cimer:
I never said you did..I'm saying they are not the best thing to prove how well someone's optimizations worked. Anyways removing some apks from /system/app/ and adding some does not effect performance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I'll second that.

Also I highly doubt the default value of 1516 is stable on each and every individual's phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] collller:
no spare parts means no RenderFX widget?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Spare parts is free on the market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
Who am I missing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
I'm sorry I misinterpreted your question but generally 1516 is stable.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
Even without spareparts their is still is a renderfx widget.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
You basically made the whole rom unthemeable now since you removed thememanager and themechooser

Its easier just to add a theme over cm7 then remove the apks and replace them.

And as for those who to add to the list look at other aosp cm7 rom OP
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
I removed themes because in my opinion they are pointless and as for the credits will do!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] exb0:
If you're gonna make a rom like this... at least include gaaps in your rom. Gosh. I did this once, remove apk, add apk, edit theme. it just doesn't work. Unless you come up with something original.. it's hard for someone to want to use it. If someone wants a no theme and without the cm stuff.. why not AOSP?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wheeliest:
this is a joke right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
Because AOSP is slower than CM7 and its not a joke why everybody gotta hate if you don't like it don't comment on it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I beg to differ, ota g2 roms are not that bad from cm7, If I made my own I believe it would've been pretty good and maybe match cm7 in some points
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Guys, give him a break please lol! We all had to start somewhere. Who knows? He might become a respected developer one day. Its not a BAD start or anything, really. He's learning as he goes. Thats more that we can say about most of us. I do agree though about building directly from AOSP though especially if you are going away from the CM approach. Well, good luck to ya!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
+1.

instead of flaming the guy why don't you help him out? Sure he's being slightly ignorant by not taking in others perspectives and the major devs advice but he did it out of good will. I don't see him asking for donations or anything he just wanted to contribute. Didn't your parents ever teach you to ask nicely, and maybe you'll get a yes. :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
Finally some nice people
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambolicuk:
+1 Like the other dude said this guy may turn in to a decent Dev :)

Is there the bug in this rom that stops flash playing in the browser as in Cyanogen 7.1?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rsxtypes72:
I would say yes since all he did was add and remove apks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
I'm not an ammature I did this for fun Ill try and work on the bug and see if I can fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
Good job.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astriaos:
Spare parts is also wildly out of date when used in conjunction with anything past 2.3.4.

Use better battery stats if you're geeking out about partial wakelocks.

Edit: I'd cut this guy more slack if any of his changes actually made any sense. Really the only one that I can see so far is the removal of Carhome navigation since I don't really drive much but then again, I can do that myself.

What works for you might not always work for everyone else. The establishment and you might not always have the same ideas but your ideas may not be the best things to share with the establishment.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hyflex:
I just woke up and had to post...

I'm glad to see some of you: sino8r, erichung_13, Shambolicuk have got the right attitude towards newcomers. We all have to start somewhere so give the guy a rest and help him.

I have no knowledge what so ever on creating roms or kernels or anything android based, why not teach him some things and give advice or requests for potential changes/addons/extras...

As for: astriaos he's added another rom to the site that's a good thing and a bad thing sure it's not the greatest of changes but there might be some people exactly like this guy who want a CM7 based rom with these exact changes they might be very very happy that someone has done this for them...

Help & teach eachother and everyone will get better and better thus resulting in more developers and we will get a higher variety of high class roms to pick from.

Teach him a few things
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astriaos:
Wait what.

The average user can do damn near all of these changes using titanium backup and the stock OC daemon in cyanogen.

There is absolutely nothing here that is groundbreaking, revolutionary, or in really good design sense.

I can't harsh on the guy for wanting to share, but at least share something that is worth sharing. That's really my only point. Seriously guy, good on you for wanting to do some sort of development and produce a rom. But doing yet another mediocre rehash of a modification of work that wasn't yours to begin with really isn't the way to do it.

Look at the Virtuous Rom team for inspiration. Look at Sulmagic and those guys. They're porting operating systems from other devices to ours and doing a damn fine job at making sure they work.

You want to impress me? You want to make me delighted that you're using oxygen on the same planet as I am? Take the Doubleshot Rom, a port of the MT4gSlide to the G2 and fix the bugs in it. Make it smooth as silk and not suffer from random reboot issues. That is a great Sense 3 rom that deserves more love and would be a wonderful thing to get your chops on. You do that and then yes, I'll give you the kudos you deserve.

Not this......thing. There are enough colorized and hacked to **** versions of Cyanogen out there on XDA. Contributing to the clutter in the name of "development" isn't going to do anyone any favors.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
He wasn't trying to impress you.. so go crawl back into your hole. We all appreciate Suil and Unity team and tsubus etc for their amazing roms, but they all started somewhere. Seriously, if you have nothing better to do then put someone down over the net, then you, sir, I feel sorry for.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] whpsnp:
What an extremely arrogant thing to say.

Do you think scaring off newcomers aspiring to contribute is helping development?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
No one is trying to impress YOU. OP is doing this out of his own delight and ability even though not up to the level of other devs. In due time I'm sure with his eager drive and ambition he will be though.

Why don't YOU try and impress us with something other than your dirty mouth and ungratefullness....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astriaos:
In the event that your collective reading comprehension is nill, let me repeat:

I cannot denigrate the man/woman for wanting to try their hand at devving. It's great that they're willing to give it a shot and share their efforts. In no way shape or form should my words of criticism "scare off newbies" and if it does, well then good riddance. Get a thicker skin over your product and learn to accept criticism and people questioning your design decisions if they're poor.

What works for you may not always work for the rest of the establishment. Making design decisions that remove very useful features from a perfectly decent ROM in the name of "speed" and "bloat removal" is silly, especially when we the end user can make a majority of these changes ourselves.

You guys really need to take a chill pill. It's a forum on the internet and white knighting someone over frankly gentle criticism doesn't lead to having better products produced down the road.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
Just to add to my previous post.

Having come from being a galaxy s user/flasher ;-) where the dev section is/was one of the most active, having new devs offering alternatives to existing builds is very useful due to differing hardware and user needs.

You have no right to bash this dev (that is what you are doing) and criticise his work. As long as 1 other person uses his creation, it deserves a place here.

I for one have followed this from the hour it was posted and feel ashamed to be part of this so called community. And I look forward to where it will go.

That is all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
Thank you everybody who is supporting me and speaking of changes what would you exactly want to implement?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I've never seen anything but criticism from you. Its rather funny that you you insult this guys work while you do nothing. You did the same thing in tsubus's thread a few months ago and had to have you posts deleted. I'm sure that wasn't the first time either. Shut up before you get banned from here for good. Go back under your bridge or whatever cave you live in. Using flowery words to describe some else's shortcomings doesn't make you more intelligent or fool anyone. The guy is trying and has to start somewhere. Our development section isn't that crowded these days and its rarely that we see anything new. I agree its not anything groundbreaking but I've never heard of anyone starting off porting roms straight from another device or anything that substantial. It's unheard of. All he did was share his mod of CM7 and everyone wants to tear him and new one. Ridiculous! And your so called gentle criticism isn't helping. No everyone was bullied in school like you and can handle that crap. Its so obvious to everyone but you. If everyone had that additude then nothing would get done. People would just give up especially of free stuff like this. I'd suggest you move out of that cave and join society so that you can learn to treat people correctly. You might actually make a friend or two and not be such a troll on xda anymore. I thought I was cynical but wow! Just shut up please and leave this guy alone before the mods have to intervene again. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

I'd build straight from AOSP, add some ramscripts, and add whatever else you or anyone else wants. I know you said that you thought it was slow but a few scripts could help that and keep it light and speedy like you wanted. Of course, thats up to you. the main development section has ton of stuff you could add. again, good luck and remember... dont make it a chore. have some fun with it. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
the best advice I could give is try to build off of source instead of using nightlies. Nightlies are great as a base but knowing what's on your PC to compile is better sometimes. I was a noob at this stuff last year or so. So if you need some help just PM me or something

Building your own kernel using pershoots source as a base is something good as well. You'll be able to add things to the kernel that would make the build better.

Building off from ssource does take sometime actually. And downloading it is going to take a while depending on your internet
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astriaos:
You are taking the Internet, XDA forums, and yourself way to seriously.

Shall we stop this derail now and get back to the subject at hand?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
Ill use the source if I have any questions ill PM you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
Hey man, just a thought. I'm no dev but I am thinking maybe to use an ota? It's stock android, but software created for our phones so it should be good.. i was getting good battery life out of it when I tried it. This way, the trolls in this thread will just have one less thing to seek out when they have too much spare time on their hands. Good luck bro your doing a great job, don't let these haters get to you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Fine with me but again you started it to begin with. Again, this isnt the first time you've done this either. Maybe you are taking things to seriously by giving your usual abrasive opinion that always upsets people. If you dont like what he's doing then just move on to something you are interested in or give criticism in a more kindly manner? You may not take xda seriously but to some... its one of their hobbies. I'm sure you have some yourself...

I'm finished then... good luck to the OP
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
I tried ota before, only downside to it is that just to modify it to have similar things as cm7 takes a while because of coding. If one code is wrong it causes issues

just my two cents
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
Like I said I'm no dev, just a suggestion :p

but thanks blah for actually trying to help, I think i appreciate it just as much as OP.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Like I said I was a noob as well at one point. All devs at one point or another were one. Though he didn't too much to his rom its still something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tlytkine:
I personally think that no developer should be focusing on gingerbread or earlier roms... Whats the benefit? We are just clogging up xda! Lets have every developer port their own version of the ice cream sandwich sdk and have a fully functioning version up... But that's just my opinion but thanks for the idea because over the existence of the g2 everybody has made cm based mods, sense based mods,and aosp based mods but nobody has improved our own vanilla stock ROM, so to speak.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
wait... vanilla G2 rom? there are a couple that are stripped down, zipalined, etc. Not sure about latest ota though..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
I see where you are coming from.. But if your knowledge isn't at the level of porting yet, you should maybe try do the latest OTA? I tried this rom and its actually pretty good because i can just add my own apps since not all the cm apps are the best, and the free ram is a little more than usual. But yeah, I think if you made a rom based on new OTA more people would be willing to try, I definitely would be ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
I have just read 7 pages of nothing, good for me!

I say let the guy be, who knows what will turn up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
I have an idea, if you are any good at scripts, write a couple to wipe cache and dalvik as the first stage of flashing. That way all we need to do is flash one file and keep using. Is it possible to add 'reboot system' also at the end.

Flash one file and it wipes caches and boot you right back to home screen. :-)
[Epic 4G General] jimmy the saint:
I am curious. I am looking to try a couple ROMS this weekend to attempt to address my ongoing bluetooth issues. I notice that other ROMs don't mention carrier IQ at all. Is this still ACS's secret sauce, or is it standard practice to remove that stuff now? Does it really even make that much difference?

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Not in all stock based roms. Some have it and some don't. Cm7 and miui definitely don't have it. Otherwise, it'll say in the op of a rom if it doesn't have it. If they don't say anything about it in the op, either ask or assume its there
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
kOnane got rid of it for ET4G so now most of the ROMs are no CIQ now on that phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] dustrho:
Followed all your steps and will keep you posted.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bombadier:
Done as requested and will let you know my experience after a couple of days.
[G2 and Desire Z General] yogi2010:
I wanna give this a try and will let you know how it goes. is the efs wipe tool different from the superwipe... i.e. it won't wipe all my data?
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
The efs wipe will only wipe the radio data. It won't touch your rom or sd card.
[G2 and Desire Z General] yogi2010:
awesome, I figured as much but was just making sure :) got it all done and will see how it goes.... thanks EdKeys!
[G2 and Desire Z General] tsubus:
I will try this soon, especially if I see many people seeing improvements (it'd be nice to have facts, so to avoid placebo effects).

For those that have tried it: any improvements in GPS performance?
[G2 and Desire Z General] racing_md:
Just did the switch and have immediately noticed improved data speeds in Atlanta, Ga. I will report back in a few days about battery life. Running CM7.1 stable
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
I didn't notice any change in GPS performance. I'm using your ROM with the updated GPS driver already included in that, which I believe is the same gps.vision.so that was included in the 2.16.531.5 OTA mentioned above.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tsubus:
I have to say I am VERY surprised by the results. I did 3 speedtests before matching rils and 3 after. Results are about 2.5 to 3 times faster in downloads, and about twice in upload. It should be on the same server (according to Speedtest.net app), which makes this great. I will definitely include it in the next release, which at this point might be later today.

edit: a couple more tests brought the download speeds down a little, so it might have been a fluke before, but I still see improvements, just not as big. I will still include it in the ROM, thank you for pointing it out.

edit2: did the new radio roll out with a new gps.vision.so file too? It'd be nice to see if using the new lib gives improvements on gps too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EdKeys:
I'm not able to check right now but I believe it is the same version that you are currrently using for this radio in your ROM now....same as the .13 release. I'll try to get a copy of it later on today.
