You've just described in detail what about 90% of roms out there really are: open zip, add/remove files, ..., profit!!!

As mentioned correctly by Moonspoon, all you'd need afterwards is to sign your package (just to ensure that there's no problems with the signature, delete the three files inside /META-INF (leave the folders alone)).

Also, as mentioned by ginatojr (kind of...), you have to know which files you're removing, for example, removing TelephonyProvider.apk, well, that should be obvious. One that's not so obvious is gtalkservice.apk. When I first started, I removed it because I though it was part of Google Talk, when in fact it's more closely related to GoogleApps and SubscribedFeedsProvider.

The only times you want to deal with signatures is if your roms come from two different sources (if you're using an AOSP test-signed core and want to toss in some release-singed Google apps), but for the most part it's unnecessary and mostly discouraged as it's a different can of worms.

So, yeah, that's basically "Rom Cooking 101", where most other people releasing roms are at "Rom Cooking 102", there's really nothing to it.

The keep in home might not work on 2.1 roms yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Brainze:
If this works out... My future plans would include doing this to streamline and modify any ROM of my choice as they are released.

I have absolutely no intention of modifying ROMs for redistribution.

This will be for my own personal needs alone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Brainze:
Can anyone tell me where the .APK files of Market downloads are stored on the handset?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Brainze:
NEVERMIND!

Found them in /SDCard/BackupRoot/app directory.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
As expected, from a god of the Android phones.
[Nexus One General] 24bronco:
Thanks pjcforpres for this write up/review. Il been holding out on the Nexus one mainly because of Keyboard. Im with Tmobile and have the latest 2.1 rom. I was even considering going to Big Red for the Droid but your review seems honest and has answered a few things for me with Keyboard, Battery life and speed. I may give it a go. Thanks much!
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Building on your 2nd point... I was amazed at how quickly apps installed from Market... it was practically instantaneous!
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
I want to point out that I edited the battery review part, and added a note at the end. It didn't read as clearly as the original thought when I wrote it.
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
I'm a hard keyboard junkie myself, and I have to say that I'm still not as great with the N1's soft keyboard than any hard kb. I don't think they will ever quite pare up.

However, the voice input is really incredible :) I especially love sitting down in my car, long-pressing "search" so the voice search comes up, and saying "Navigate to burger king." The phone opens Google Maps Navigation, plots the course from my location to the nearest Burger King, and begins turn-by-turn navigation.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Nice review...this bad boy has Awesome speed & eye candy! :cool:
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
Good review but the battery life on the N1, as much as I love this device, is horrendous. It's absolutely terrible. But then again, I actually expected it to be so it's not a big deal. I will get the fattest battery I can when they come out. I use the phone so much that I've actually had to start charging it a third time in one day.
[Nexus One General] timothydonohue:
honestly, i'm actually faster with the soft keyboard than i was with a hard board, because i don't have to actually press anything. i've tried on other screenboards too, and this thing is like butter compared to those. a hard keyboard was my sticking point for a long time, but no longer. not after this
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
You know, I kind of experienced the opposite in terms of battery. My G1 would last all day, with fairly regular usage and by the time I went to bed I was around 70% left battery.

I've had my N1 off the charger since around noon today, and its at 50%. so 24 hours at that rate would completely drain my battery. Overnight also, I left it unplugged, it was at 72% when I wend to bed (around midnight) and 60% when I got up (8:30a), so 8 hours standby consumed 12% battery. My n1 is also currently set to 2G only, as I flip/flop 2g/3g at my house (my g1 did the same here since they put up the new 3g tower).
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
I left mine off the charger overnight, and had 2% consumption. Not sure what to tell you other than check how often you have your stuff syncing, and what all you have in your background. I don't like task killers much, but I do use them to kill any media apps since even with those chilling in the background waiting for you to come back, they like to drain battery.

So far, on the 3 devices being used in our test group, we have all experienced the same great battery life I reported. Like I already said, my manager made it 2 days on 1 full charge (I think that was officially 44 hours). A couple others in the group experiened the same thing. The data specialist, who is a very heavy user (near constant actually) made it through the work day. That is the first time a smart phone has done that, including BB's.

We all have different ideas of what normal usage is and what heavy use is. Being that I sell cell phones for a living, and gotta fill out fun forms that define those for me, I would like to think my idea is closer to average than some of you guys. Let me put it like this, I guess, for me constant use does not =heavy use. Constant use=Constant use. Heavy use= an average of using the phone 30 minutes out of every hour. Average use=Using the phone less than 15 minutes an hour. As well, we factor in what that usage is, is it data? Is it phone calls? Is it media player?

There are tons of factors that can cause one man to think great battery life and another horrible. I tried my best to write my review and assesment based on my personal experience on a criteria that is based off 4 years of selling cell phones as well the guide sheet made up by 25 people with over 150 years combined experience in the cell phone world.
[Nexus One General] BrooklynAvi:
Actually, I think the battery life is pretty good considering the what the phone does. It's just horrible compared to, for example, a non-smartphone. I'm not sure what people mean by "heavy use" but when I say heavy use, I mean my phone is on and I'm playing with it for five hours straight browsing, using data, video, music, games, apps and a combination of those. I rarely talk on the phone. Messaging, browser, music and apps are where I use my phone most. Basically, I use every feature for hours at a time. I live on my phone (for play and work so it's not as bad as it sounds). So if heavy use for others is 30 minutes out of every hour like you said, my heave use is many hours of constant use. But overall, the N1 is a wonderful device and it would take a lot for me to give it up (N2? LOL).
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
We/ I would call that constant or near constant use. Yes, heay usage might and is what most would call that, but when evaluating battery life on a more concise basis we would call that constant use for clarity and consitancy in the evaluation process from phone to phone and person to person.

I do agree, as well, that many people seem to compare a smart phone to a dumb phone too easily and readily for what their expectations are concerning battery life. IIRC, I can't see it as I write this, in my original post I said for a phone that does as much as the Nexus One, the battery life is great. And of course you say the same!

In my experiences, the Nexus One is just below a BB for battery usage, way better than WinMo, and an improvement over the G1(my personal phone right now). When you consider that it can do way more than a BB, faster, and better, the battery life becomes IMO better than a BB's. As the data specialist found, he actually had better battery life with the Nexus One than he did with his BB 8900 and 9700.
[Nexus One General] halfsight:
My first 24 have been like a love story:p
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Yeah, it was so hard for me to give the phone to the next tester, it was like breaking up with my first love! I am actually thinking about ordering an unlocked off Google because I miss it so much already!
[Nexus One General] SpyderMS:
Although my N1's battery is clearly better than my G1's, it's still not nearly what some people are reporting. On weekdays, I get up about 7am and take my phone off the charger. On my way to take my daughter to school, and then on my way to work, I stream Pandora the entire way, on 3G (about 60 minutes in traffic). I get to work by about 8:30, and my battery at that point is at about 80-85%. My G1 would be about 65-70% at that same point. By the time I get home (about 3pm), streaming music all the way home (about 40 minutes). Battery life by the time I get home is around 45-50%, possibly less, depending on if I did much texting at work. By the time I go to bed (9 or 10pm) I'm at around 20%.

That's pretty much an average day. Only once have I completely drained the battery where my phone would not turn on, and it hit that point at about 8:30pm that day. This was not possible on my G1. I would have to charge it at work in order to do all of the above, and I'd still be in the 10-20% range by 10pm.

I think the biggest difference isn't the hardware 'or' the software, but mostly the 1400mah battery compared to the 1000mah battery on the G1. Although, the fact that the N1 is so much faster, means I get more things done in less time, which means more time in idle, and more battery saved.

I did just notice something though... I've had my phone unplugged since 8am this morning, it's now 2am, and I'm still at 20%... can't complain :)
[Nexus One General] sEventoRii:
what are you guys' battery use distribution?

according to the battery use showed on the phone, the screen drains most of my batter most oftenly more than 70 percent.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
That seems to be the prevailing "peak" usage.
[Wing, P4350 General] M9x3mos:
Sorry maybe a dumb question, but has been a long time since I looked at one of these phones. What would you say currently is the best windows mobile 6.5 rom for a T-Mobile wing that runs the smothest? For right now I do not have a memory card but will get one later on. Don't know if that has any bearing or not. But just wondering on your opinion as to what is the best running rom 6.5 for the device.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] choixa:
I cann't change sms tone to desire tone in storage card.

how to change it pls.?
[Imagio Themes and Apps] thepolishguy:
from my experience you cannot set your sms tone from the storage card unless you do some sort of registry edit.

you need to copy the tone from your card and paste in

My Device\My Documents

works for me.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] choixa:
tks alot, i can change my sms tone now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dan330:
hi everyone...

I have a Sprint hero on MoDaco 1.3.

It is working fine...

I have copilot and google maps.

Both were fine till it got stormy here.. Very Cloudy.

For 2 days of cloudy skys.

My GPS has gone crazy!!!! While I am driving in my car it shows that I am jumping all over the city. Then it had me on the other side of the state of Texas! and it was stable there!!! Today it had me hundreds of miles off the coast of California!!!

This is in both copilot and google maps.

then the sky got brighter.. but still cloudy later in the day.

My GPS was now back to accurate!!

SO... is our GPS receiver that weak?

ON very bad rainy/cloudy days, we will be able to count on our GPS? I have a MIO GPS device and I can count on it in any weather condition.

Has anyone else experience this??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
Strange

I'm no expert but I certainly think the weather influences the signal, GPS devices like your Mio use more power for it's receiver ofcourse, thus have a quicker fix and a stronger signal I imagine. The only thing I find strange is it jumping all around town:p. On a cloudy on my Touch Diamond it took ages before I had a fix but if the weather got to extreme it just lost signal that's all.

I can imagine that if there were thunderstorms the static could mess up your signal as well.

[HD2 General] spiderfly72:
Hi,

Any one experiences the following problem on their HTC Leo/HD2?

- When I use the dialpad to find a contact I can use any part of the name and it will be displayed.

e.g Name in contact : Tan Ah Bee (First Name)

So I can key in either "Tan" or "Ah" or "Bee" it will be found.

- But when sending a SMS message, I can only locate the contact if I type "Tan". Keying in "Ah" or "Bee" will not find the contact.

Seems like in SMS mode, it searches the contact name in sequence......

Anyone???

i'm runnning xROM Eclair-v1.0 AOSP/CMSource but i really like the lockscreen that Eclair_2.1-v1.5 G1/MT3G 32B has. how can i extract, or what do i need to replace on my phone from the Eclair 2.1 rom to get that lockscreen?

so instead of this:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erlern:
Hi, I tried searching, but could not seem to find an answer for this. I am currently using Advanced Task Manager, however, I find that there will always be about 3-6 applications that runs by itself after half an hour of idleness.

My question: Is there an application that limits the amount of background apps running on Android? Although I love multitasking, I think that there are some merit of being able to limit it to 2 or 3 apps running at anyone time, instead of constantly having to use ATM before running another app or doing something (to boost the performance).

Btw, I am using HTC Dream/G1 using CyanogenMod's latest. Thanks for any help and assistance on this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Some of those apps have to be open

Ex.

I know settings appears in ADV task manager even though the phone has been on home.Camera seems to been on the list after doing some media things like viewing pics or music..

My point is I think theres a Autokill feat or you can get the 10MB if you really need the memory.You should try Super-D since you said your a multi-tasker, its alot faster after doing benchmarks and comparing both roms.Even bootup is faster but some say the new Wesgarner rom is faster than the two. i personally stick to the roms in my sig though.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloverdale:

Hey Guys - HTC has provided a backup tool "Sprite Backup Tool", under the AU support page (link below)

http://www.htc.com/au/supportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=3&dl_id=850

But when I submit my serial, it says -

"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."

Yes I do have the HTC Touch Diamond2 T5353 running WM6.5

Anyone know why I cannot download the software??

When I touch the button, it sounds that it is focusing but nothing happens and it shows a Red Cross always. I tried with stock and cooked roms (lots of) and same issue with all of them.

Does anybody know what’s the problem here? Maybe it is hardware?

Thanks in advance.

How long does it take to charge the battery the first time you charge (out of the box)?

Man, I want to turn on my phone!!!
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
you can use the phone while its charging... just make sure to charge it to 100%.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Oh, really? The little quick start page says charge until the light turns green. I thought you had to leave it off, since the light goes away when you turn it on.

Anyway, the light turned green, yay! (Took about 2 hours)
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
lol, I don't know if this common sense or not, but why exactly should you charge it until the light turns green when you first get it? I know it says it in the instructions, but can any bad come out of not doing it, or does Google/HTC or whoever just recommend you do this?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Shorten battery life. Battery cycles etc
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Lithium ion batteries last much longer if they don't experience deep discharge cycles... (deep discharge meaning the charge percentage going below ~50% or so). So it's much better for the battery if you charge it regularly, and only fully discharge it every other month or so to keep it conditioned.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Mine charges all the time since it tethered a lot! My past batterys on other ppc's seem to have held up well because of this!
[Nexus One General] sthoeft:
The purpose in this charge handy first and so in is just to prevent a deep decharge which will destroy the battery (yes, one time letting get down the battery to less than 10-5% means you'll loose about 20-30% of capazity!) and to train the logic behind it. The phone does need to know where the full and empty point are to show you correct rest capacitys. Thats why you should let get down the battery once and a while to the point your phone tells you it needs power and then charge it complitely. It has nothing to do with anykind of memory effect or whatever, it's just a kind of calibration, not more.

I loved my ATT Fuze until i got my Tmobile Touch Pro 2.

When i had my Fuze, i had this Body Glove case. it worked well for the first few days and then it would fall off with any sort of touch. Fast foward 4 cases later and 8 months. I go to the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show last week in las vegas. I end up talking Harsh - Project development manager @ fellows. i told him how i hated the case for the Fuze, and expressed my disgust for fellows products, yet I was wearing one on my hip for the TP2(he did peep it). Told him i did not give up on the product and actually liked how it fit on my fuze.

Long story short, the original mold for the fuze was based off of a prototype phone. therefor the product was flawed, it would end up being too loose after 10 minutes :D . Harsh gave me his card and told me to email him my contact info when i got home and he will send me a replacement for free. the bad ones were supposed to be recalled. this is why i think so many floated on ebay!! he sned it promptly and i got it two days later.

Sold the fuze to my buddy and gave him the new case and he's loving it!!

All i can say it wow, what a great company and plus they stand behind their product!! defects and all, cant say that about the $1.99 free shipping crap from china/hong kong!!

here harsh's contact info
