[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
If you wanna put some proper mods in this then contrary to my previous post I do actually have some useful suggestions:

- Debloat everything to ****. You claim to have already but the way I install ROMs I bet I have done more so than you, and it's a pain to get rid of unwanted stuff every single time I flash a ROM so a predebloated ROM would be nice. PM me for tips on what's good to get rid of, etc.

- If you don't do anything else from source, at least compile the kernel from source as some good could be done from that very easily. There are guides everywhere and it's ridiculously easy to chuck in a few governors, schedulers, other tweaks (have a look in my andromadus kernel mod in my sig, there are tips in post 2 as well).

- I assume you're using this hosts file? If not, you should: it's the best. Give credit to the original guy as well.

- Nova Launcher beats the crap out of Trebuchet and even GEL and stock android launcher now. It has lower memory consumption, more options, and they've somehow smoothed it out lately so there are no disadvantages at all.

- I don't know if terminal emulator is already in this ROM, but if it isn't then it should be.

- You could learn how to set up aroma installer to give some options regarding music apps, boot animations, etc., maybe? Might be difficult to maintain, speak to [MENTION=4334383]demkantor[/MENTION]

- Enhanced keymaps, third heading down on this post. It's waaayy better than default keymaps, remember to give credits to andromauds team although I think you have done already

- If you've put any supposedly performance enhancing scripts in /system/etc/init.d, please get rid of them as they do not work. This even includes things like V6 supercharger which isn't really necessary on recent versions of android (although it was in the past I think). The only scripts that do anything useful are ones that set CPU frequencies and governors, toggle things like KSM, and one that I would recommend putting in is one which changes the value of read_ahead_kb as I have seen proof of this working (I don't know of this is necessary anymore though).

- there is a fantastic superuser app called minimal su or nano su or something but I can't find it anywhere and I don't know if it works with 4.3.1. It uses up next to no memory, increasing then overall performance of the OS, and its so tiny that su requests are granted almost instantaneously (I've tried in terminal emulator.... Its instant).

- if you won't compile the source you could delve into and change the compiled source: the 30/45 steps volume project looks interesting as a start.

- you could offer an odexed version of the ROM, there are various scripts that do this for you dotted around xda. Boot times are much quicker but I don't really know of many other advantages from trying it myself.

- there are various Linux binaries which have been ported to run on android, I know there's definitely a nano binary somewhere which works on android. This would be pretty cool.

- theme the whole thing like KitKat? Add KitKat apps at least, if they work (some don't)

That's all I can think of for now. PM me if you need help with anything.
