[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
StockMod

​

Introducing StockMod. This is a super stable and great on battery life Gingerbread sense 2.1 ROM based of off Strapped365's Stock rooted OTA found here: It was born out of my desire to learn more about Android. As I continue to learn, I will update this.

I have two versions. One is a2sd and the other is not. Please do not flash the a2sd version unless you have a properly partitioned sd card. If you do not or don't know what I am referring too, please flash the ordinary ROM.

Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk!

*It is important to note that there may be additional issues I don't know about and as I am a truck driver, not a programmer I may or may not be able to fix things.

Everyone is encouraged to do what ever you like with anything I post.

ROM Features

Deodex

I have included some of my favorite free apps in this. If you find them useful please purchase the paid versions from the market to help support the developers. Its always nice to go to their threads and click "Thanks" too.

Native screen shot (Power+Home)

Several cool wall papers by Rosario34 in her thread here She and her friends have some amazing images to share. (I don't remember where I got the Angry Birds wall paper)

a2sdgui included in the a2sd version so there's no need for terminal.

Custom boot animation by thor6577 Check out his work here

Fonts and some changes made with permission from dropzeroc's Legendary ROM Thanks Drop!

Customized Metal, Slate, and Blackboard skins

This comes with Dodge's v1.6 kernel but it works very well with Straped365's and Drob311's kernels as well so feel free to change things up.

What works?

Everything including 4g

Problems?

The htc calculator widget is wonkey.

Fixed!

I have noticed that the launcher (Rosie) tends to restart from time to time. I use Zeppelinrox--V6 Supercharger to make the launcher "Bulletproof" and that works great.

Change log:

9/22/2013 Minor update for the A2SD version. Updated many apps and fixed a SuperSU binary issue.

4/13/2013 Updated NON a2sd version to match the new a2sd version.

4/12/2013 Updated the a2sd version. Will do the NON a2sd version when I get some more time. Changed the Play Store to 4.0.25. Thanks to thronnos for making it available. Changed from SuperUser to SuperSU. Added roam only option in Settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile networks. Changed the Battery icon to blue with percentage of power left. Changed the signal bars blue. (I'm undecided if I like that or not) Change the Gallery icon to the one in Energy. Fixed the calculator widget and replaced the calculator back to the original. Put the Wood skin back in.

3/9/2013 Added native screenshot with parts from newSENSE. Thanks Dread7us!

Changed the progress bars from green to blue using parts from the BlueSky skin in sense 3.5 ROMs

Added Notify Me app. It needs to be set up by the user to work. Its pretty cool and works well on my Shift.

Added a patch so folks can add the native screen shot without having to flash a whole ROM.

2/28/2013 updated NON-A2SD version to match the A2SD version.

Put the Sense 2.1 lockscreen back in the NON-A2SD version and added a flashable zip to OP so folks can have the original Sense 2.1 lockscreen if they want it in older versions or in the A2SD version. (I changed three icons in the lockscreen from green to blue to match the rest of the ROM)

2/26/2013 Added extra options for the restart app and changed some minor things in the UI for the A2SD version. I'll update the NON-A2SD version when I get some more time.

1/31/2013 Changed the NON-A2sd version appearance (Menus and popups) to match the A2SD version.

1/22/2013 Put together an alternate a2sd version that has been themed with various parts from Energy, CoreDroid , Blue Edition for stock ROM and the Blue Sky skin available in Legendary-Infamous. I changed popups, menus, icons and the bootanimation. I can't find where I got the animation from so if anyone finds the original dev for the animation, please let me know so I can give proper credit.

1/14/2013 Made a small update for the a2sd version. Removed the original Sense 4.0 clock. Updated AdFree and some other apps. Added Rings Ddigital Weather clock widget.

12/26/2012 Fixed SuperUser issue in NON-a2sd version and updated AdFree apk

Instructions:

Basically:

DL to pc and move to the root of sd card

Do a full wipe (3x)

Flash

Enjoy

Note: This ROM takes a while to load (up to 5 minutes) so be patient and let it settle. Thanks.

Note 2: The a2sd version is set up so that the apps are already on the SD partition at first boot. That's why it takes so long the first time. Please make sure you have a properly partitioned SD card before flashing this version or it will have problems.
