[Verizon Droid Charge] jheide44:
[ROM][FP8] Debloat WIFI ONLY Music Player - w/ "Real Phone" Backout Plan (2013-08-16)

END OF SUPPORT NOTICE:

This project has been formally merged back into the Tweaked Lite 1.x FP8 by Dwitherell. (...or on XDA, HERE.)

Tweaked Lite: Same great taste, just one calorie...

This was simply my n00b-ish attempt at a kang/bootleg tweaked on FP8, no real point maintaining my "placeholder" when "the original" is now available on FP8.

NOTE: A WIFI Only option is available on Tweaked Lite 1.x (via a TweakTools init.d tweak)

After installing Tweaked Lite 1.x grab a terminal "su" then "tweaktools". From the menu interface the options are 3, 1, 1, and finally 1. Remember to restart for an init.d script to take hold! (Exit TT to the # prompt and type "reboot".)

If you were a Music/Media player user check out the music APKs available in the apps TT menu(s). Also remember to look in TSM parts for userful music player flavored options!

Since I know we have a handful of WIFI only folkls...

...Original detail preserved below for "posterity"...

Old News:

Beta v1.4 Released 8/16/13.

Updates to the reserved posts...

BnB is back... Kinda... BnB Lite or PoBoy_BnB (look at the print screen)

Tweaktools is back! "TT Lite", same great taste, just one calorie... (Still populating the back-end.)

FYI... So far, 50/50 on users keeping WIFI Only script vs. revert to phone use with CDMA/LTE Radio.

Description:

This is a FP8 Stock Based, Rooted, Deodexed, Debloated, BusyBoxed, init.d enabled, radiooptions binary added, cell/mobile data OFF init.d script build for the good old Droid Charge SCH-I510.

By Default this ROM disables the CDMA/LTE Radios. No Calls/Texts, No Mobile data... WIFI only!

If you use this as a "real phone" be warned! (I've made it relatively easy to get CDMA/LTE Radios back though, see FAQ #8 below.)

Project Goals/Scope:

The Idea was to pull together a phone that might serve as a GB Micro Tablet Media Player.

I wanted to be able to turn it over to the kids and not worry about them making emergency calls.

Wanted to leave in the old SIM card so it would get through a reset/restart quick & easy.

Radio disabled via init.d script so no need to remember to set airplane mode, etc.

Thought it would be interesting to see if there was a battery bonus disabling the radios.

Commentary:

I tried to get aggressive with the debloat. ...people are able to get the apps they want on their own.

I threw in the cyanogenmod Apollo music player (from HERE, since it is currently not on Google Play).

I was originally thinking about pulling out the bits that make it a phone (Dialer/MMS stuffs). Ultimately decided to leave them in, so there is a quick & Easy revert back for use like a real phone option. That leaves the music player only optimal battery folks a bit of work to do (via Titanium freezing, or... you'll figure it out).

I did NOT spend time cranking open the bits for UI tweaks or making it pretty (may not even have/develop those skills). As such, it has very stock GB flavored look & feel.

Warning:

Standard disclaimers apply...your mileage may vary, hack at your own risk. This could ruin you phone, your life, the entire world... Rooting your device WILL void your warranty. Know what you are doing, at the end of the day you can only blame yourself if you break it. (I'm just some crazy guy from the internet...)

<NO PROMISES DISCLAIMER>

Be patient with me for I am n00B! (It took quite a while just to deodex/debloat this beast. So, don't hold your breath waiting on me.)

If I try and fail I reserve the right to walk away with head hung low and tail between legs...

At this point the Wife/Kids are happy with the little WIFI only Gingerbread nano tablet(s). As such, I might loose interest entirely. Especially if there are not enough interested users still using the SCH-I510...
