If you want to add APN to the ROM so evry user doesnt have to do it by them self do like this:

to fix network settings do like this:
open framework-res.apk but dont extract, just open file and go to /res/xml/ and replace your apns.xml with for example with apns.xml from my rom.
just drag the /res/xml/apns.xml from "mine" framework-res.apk into your framework-res.apk that your are using.

Working smoothly so far. Have tried market, internet XDA app and OsmAnd. Launcherpro working great. Is there no way to get vanilla lock screen or are we stuck with HTC's effort? It really doesn't look so hot on the small screen.

It's a pay app but Goto is really nice if you go in and 'disable' the HTC lockscreen. The HTC lockscreen is lagging down the Goto lockscreen if it is still working , by disabling it Goto can work its magic, and it is much nicer.
I renamed the HTC lockscreen .apk to .bak, hence disabling it, if you know how to do this it shouldn't be a problem for you to do it , if you don't , i suggest you don't try it cause getting back could be troublesome.
@warriorvibhu:
Would it be possible to add (a free) lockscreen of your choice to a ROM btw? I tried just disablint the HTC one , and there is something there that works like a lockscreen , but it doesn't really work well. I think it's a standard Eclair lockscreen but with the settings all wrong , is this settingsfile available somewhere and if so could a vanilla android settingsfile make that work?

Yeah i am all for removing bloat. And now that i am reading it again , a better solution than adding a free one would be to get the standard android one to work as it is clearly there in some form.
Flashed v2, booted okay but not connecting to mobile network? happened with the other versions of your roms too, am i doing something wrong? always do a data and cache wipe before flashing.

My fault i misplaced that apns file.. i can fix that in next rom .. or u can try one thing not sure if it wil work.. but should be done before flashing..use Winrar for following steps..
open the Lite rom file u have downloaded with winrar:>> go to>>System>>framework>>framework-res.apk>>res>>xml>>delete apns.xml.
Now extract apns.xml from apns.zip attached here. drag and drop the file given here in this attachment into the window where u deleted apns.xml from. In winrar change the dropdown menu from normal to store. and accept to update archive.
Now ur ROM is ready to be flashed..without APN problem.
thanks for the help! i might try this or wait for the next release, other than this small issue the rom is great!
This version is really fast. Just regret that I can't remove sh*** like taskiller or the buggy lockscreen.
I think you should not ad anything in order to stay in the "lite version" mind.
Anyway, nice job. Thanks a lot.

Let me explain what I mean by "casual". I've come to find that I always end up removing stuff from custom ROMs that I don't like/don't use and end up with something much much better.
With NFX's permission (should he give it) I'd like to make a custom ROM based on my slimmed down approach, one that left me with tons of free space, lots of free RAM, great battery life, and smooth operation. I'm looking at the ROM right now, and I'm wondering; is there anything special I need to know about adding my own apks to be preinstalled with the ROM? I'd like to add Fancy Widget and LauncherPro since I stopped using the Sense Launcher. My ideal setup is one where the app is recognized by the market so that it can be updated as and when needed. Also, what can I do to ensure that LauncherPro is the default launcher?
I'd love to get into this. I'm not big on code editing but have no issue with doing so when needed, can anyone nudge me in the right direction?
Update #1: My first attempt failed . I was using Nfinite's Odexed NFX Rom. I tried to just change around the apps in the data/app/ folder. Also attempted to delete all the HTC Sense Widgets beforehand. (I do this after install, but I wanted to do it before.) Should I not be working with an odexed ROM, and is there some sort of signature process that I need to be using?
Pretty sure you need deodexed.

Like some else said you'll need the deodexed rom. Also if your altering the rom for personal purposes there is no need to ask nfinite... if you post the rom then you'll need to ask and give props.
Next you need some kind of rom manager tools so that you can sign and zip align your apk and have a flashable after you make your changes. maybe read threw the rom cooking guide on the hero wiki page also.
You most definitely what an odexed ROM. Its been a while since I messed with it, but i think you will want to place apps you want updated in /data/app. As for the default launcher, it should ask which one you want as default when you first boot into the ROM.

@[email protected] Confusion. A few people above have said I need deodexed?
The only problem you will run into with odexed vs deodexed is changes to any jar files within an apk on system. Only really applies to framework level edits. Things like removing haptic or rotary lock screen or battery percentage mods, etc.

Ah. Nah, the only thing I'd love to experiment with is to swap out images and png files. The functionality of the ROM and its inner workings are fine . Assuming that I can remove all the HTC widgets and a few of the apps I won't be using (using LP, so Sense Widgets are unneeded), and that I can set a default launcher, and perhaps mess around with all the status bar icons/button images, that's all I want to do

You can always re-Odex it afterwards.
I assume you've realized this, as you have a stable odexed ROM out, but I'm putting it up for reference's sake. Don't want someone reading the thread and getting the wrong idea.
Hi There,
I've tried searching all over and cannot find anything so please forgive me if I'm asking something that has been asked before...
I am looking at all the wonderful custom roms out there for the Captivate but it seems that some of them do not have the classic Samsung Keyboard. I'm very fond of inputting text via the old school 3x4 portrait style with predictive texting and notice that some of the roms do not have the Samsung Keyboard, which then pretty much rules out that rom for me.
So I was wondering if there is a way to add the 3x4 portrait samsung keyboard to a rom somehow if it wasn't originally built/packaged with it?
Yes, there is definitely a way to do that. It will involve rooting your phone, and finding the .apk of the keyboard into a certain folder with 'Root Explorer'.
I'll see if I can find the Samsung Keyboard .apk for you, and I suggest you getting Root Explorer (or similar) for the time being.

Wow!!! That is AWESOME!!!
I'm still a noob so pardon if I ask some potentially obvious questions... *bows head in shame*
I am getting Root Explorer and have not used it before tho have indeed rooted my phone and flashed an existing rom created by others (currently using Serendipity 5.12)
Would this Rom Kitchen method be a simple addition to a current rom via Clock Work Recovery - Reboot into recovery mode - install zip from SD Card type of thing? Or would I have to go into the folder and replace the different files with whatever is generated and rename the file, also as an addition/alteration to a current Rom that I was using?
Or would you basically be generating your own custom Rom altogether with this Rom Kitchen by starting from scratch and selecting each part of the rom yourself like the Base Rom then CSC then Kernel then Modem then Apps Etc and then doing a master clear and flashing this as a brand new rom?
And if the generated file is essentially a brand new Rom altogether, would it be possible if I just generate one with the desired "additions" that I was looking for, open that up, save/copy the additions I wanted and then just customize an existing Rom I really like by swapping out or adding those additions in the appropriate folder?
Thank you to all in advance by the way!!!! I really appreciate the help!!!

the Samsung Keyboards (and all the rest of the keyboards) are under the "Apps" tab area? But I don't know what the difference is between the Samsung Stock JPY and JS3 keyboards? Do both have the portait 3x4?
Oh yeah, I see it now. Weird, I could only see Gingerbread Keyboard before! (Maybe the page didn't load properly).
They don't differ too much, you should be fine with JS3!

That's strange! You're Right!! If you choose "update.zip" as the Base Rom choice (which I assume is just adding onto your existing Rom after playing with this site more) then the Samsung Keyboard Does Disappear from the App Tab Choices!!!
Yeah, I just realised that as well... I might hunt around for you and find the Keyboard's .apk right now
It'll be a different set of instructions, but it won't be "too" hard. Basically the option via my first post in this thread.
If you were to install Serendipity, you could use this:

Development dropped in favor of Liberation.
Only difference between Nothing Special 1.3 and Liberation 1.0 is that Google Car Home has been replaced by the stock HTC Car Panel. This is to remove "holes" left by the removal of a stock app. Also, this no longer conflicts with my intent of having a stock ROM minus carrier bloat/restrictions. Google Car Home can be added by the user if they so choose.
How to customize Nothing Special (Peanut) BEFORE you flash:
Materials
Windows - 7-ZIP
Linux - nothing
Mac OS X - nothing (note, I have not done this on Mac OS X, so I cannot support this OS)
Steps
Download the above mentioned file(s) for Windows. You can use a different archive manager if you'd like, but my guide is based on using 7-ZIP.
On your desktop, create a folder named "Test." You can name it whatever you want, but I'll be referring to it as "Test" in this guide. If you are new at this, you need to follow the guide to the letter.
Find your downloaded "Nothing Special (Peanut) ROM" and extract it to the Test folder. The easiest way to do this on Windows is to open the ROM, highlight all of the folders/files (CTRL-A), copy (CTRL-C), then open the Test folder and paste (CTRL-V). Give it a minute to extract the contents.
Once you complete step three, modify the ROM to your hearts content (see details below). Once complete, proceed to step five.
Open the Test folder and highlight everything (CTRL-A). Right click and select "Add to Archive." This will open 7-ZIP's archive manager. On Linux or Mac OS X, just right-click (or equivalent) and select "Compress."
In the options menu that comes up, leave everything at default except the following. The filename should be Test.zip (change Test to whatever you want). Archive format should be zip. Compression level should be ultra. That's it.
Once done, you can copy this zip to your SD card and flash as normal. Keep in mind that I am not responsible for any changes that you made in this ROM, so make sure you Nandroid BEFORE you flash.
Specific customizations for the above method:
Ringtones - While the ROM is unzipped, open the test folder and look for /system/media/audio. Within this folder you'll see several more folders (Ringtones, Alarms, Notifications). Any should files you put here will show up in the system when you go to change your ringtone (or whatever corresponds to the folder). The benefits to this modification include; no storage space used up in internal, phone, or SD storage; ringtone works even if SD is USB mounted, no errors when the SD card corrupts or is in use. The ringtones (alarms/notifications) are stored in a partition that does NOT count towards your file storage
Modify Status Bar - Don't like the crap (IE, the E911 location icon or the clock) in the status bar? Change it! Go to THIS THREAD, download the status bar you want, and then use it to replace the services.jar file found in /system/framework. Don't have to worry about flashing it separately!
Add the 3-in-1 reboot menu - Want a 3-in-1 reboot menu without flashing separately? Go to THIS POST and download the file. Extract the file from /system/framework, and use it to replace the same file in /system/framework from your ROM. When your ROM is zipped and flashed, you'll have the 3-in-1 reboot menu by default!
Add the Evo camera - Go to THIS POST and download the file that I attached. Go to your Test folder and navigate to /system/app/. Use the downloaded apk to replace the one already there.
Add/Remove apps you don't want - Navigate to /system/app, and remove any APK files that you don't want. If you don't know what app it is, do NOT remove it. WARNING: You do this at your own risk! Not all apps are safe to remove! You can also place other APKs in here. Generally not recommend as then they take up space in /system/app and /data/data, which can slow boot time when too crowded.
Modify Bootup Animation/Sound - Navigate to the /system/customize/resource/ folder. In there, you will see two files; VZW_bootanimation.zip an VZW_Droid.mp3. These files are the bootup animation and "Droid" noise. Simply delete the MP3 if you want a silent bootup. It really is that easy. Replace the ZIP File with another zipped animation (must give it the same name) to replace the animation with one of your own. NOTE: Make sure you verify compatibility. If unsure, don't do it.
WARNING about Smooth Sense Icons - Do NOT follow the above instructions with any mod, such as Smooth Sense icons, that replace framework.apk. Doing so will cause you to have a boot loop. This must be flashed manually and separately
Modifications: A note about the below medications. They may or may not flash with your recovery. If you see *(recovery) after a mod, it means that I have personally verified that it works. For outdated mods, I will, over time, convert them to Clockwork Mod 3.x. If you want to see a mod listed here, PM me so that I can add it. Posting it in the thread won't always catch my attention.
Smooth Sense Icons w/white battery indicator - Thanks goes out to jercik for the mod and squintz for the port and white text change. This collection of icons makes Sense look much nicer.* (2.5.0.5, 2.5.1.2)
Status Bar tweaks - Thanks goes to pardonmyfreedom - collection of mods allows you to change what icons show up in your status bar (IE, clock, battery meter, E911 location icon, etc.)* (2.5.0.5, 2.5.1.2)
3-in-1 Reboot Menu - Thanks goes to snq - When you hold the power button, beneath the shut down icon you'll have a reboot option. This gives you three more choice; normal, boot-loader (HBOOT), recovery. * (2.5.0.5, 2.5.1.2)
Evo Camera - Provided by various sources, this camera is the same as the Incredible camera, but has an on-screen button for those who hate using the track-pad. * (2.5.0.5, 2.5.1.2)
Kernels: If you see a * (approved), it means that I have personally tested the kernel(s) at the provided link with this ROM. In theory, any Sense kernel should work on this ROM. If you have a favorite kernel, PM me the link and description so that I can add it.
Heyitslou's custom kernels -customized versions of the stock kernel, these kernels offer excellent stability, battery life, and real world performance, but won't win any synthetic benchmark comparisons. I use #8 and HIGHLY recommend it. All credit to the linked thread author.* (approved)

Yes, read the OP for "Nothing Special (plain)," the link is at the bottom of the OP here. Basically, plain is odexed, and cannot take mods, etc. It is simply stock with crapware eliminated and one or two very minor tweaks. It's for those who don't want to stray far from stock, and are content with their ROM as is.
Peanut is deodexed, and can therefore be modded. You can flash other themes, kernels, etc. and build it any way you want from stock, instead of from other ROM builders' vision of what "stock" should be.
All credit to Jason for a very nice job doing something that was long overdue. Not planning on running it myself, but flashed plain on my daughter's Incredible and I don't think I'll have to provide any more tech support to her from here on in.
Plain or Peanut is now more up-to-date than Virtuous, which was formerly the best "first step" for anybody exploring ROM's.
hgoldner did a great job of summing up the differences, so I'm going to add a bit more technical bits to it.
When a ROM is odexed, as the stock ROM is, it means that the key apps (anything made by HTC) are divided up into two parts; an APK file and an ODEX file. When you first load an odexed ROM, all of the APK files copy over to the /data/data/ folder for installation. The ODEX files remain in /system/app/ and are used like libraries on your desktop.
On a deodexed ROM, the ODEX and APK files are combined into one APK. So, when these APKs are copied to /data/data/, they take up more space. This is a key reason why the first bootup of a deodexed ROM takes so much longer than an odexed equivalent, as more data is being copied over. Also, this is why Plain has 722MB available to the user (more than any other ROM I'm aware of, even edging out the stock ROM, which is 710), while Peanut has 676MB available to the user.
An odexed ROM is harder to modify and is not compatible with modifications made for deodexed ROMs. So, only run Plain if you want a stock ROM, without bloat, and with more space available for apps. Run Peanut if you can live with less space, but want a choice in what addons are run.
I'll be adding more addons to this thread almost daily. I'll make it as easy as possible to customize this ROM the way you want it.

Wow. Didn't know that myself. This would strongly suggest that odexed ROM's have a less likelihood of filling up the \data\data 150mb partition, and therefore would be less likely to produce the "low memory space" warning. Yes?

Exactly You get roughly 50MB extra from being odexed, depending on the ROM. In the case of Nothing Special, deodexing takes away 46MB from /data/data/. I've tried to keep it somewhat clean though, as most other custom ROMs use up a little more space than this.
This is what virtuous was supposed to be. Virtuous' definition of "essential fixes" is a little flawed to me. Perfect stock ROM. Thanks.
EDIT: In my opinion this is what virtuous should have been. Virtuous' definition of "essential fixes" is a little flawed to me. Perfect stock ROM. Thanks.

RMK did a great job on Virtuous. I'm a mere hack compared to him as a ROM developer. I think Virtuous is what is was meant to be, but he's just moved on to the G2.
My ROMs are merely another alternative.
Updated the FAQ with two notes to help explain the difference between Plain/Peanut (they're the top two Q/As). Will start adding the addons tomorrow. For now, flash the ROM and your favorite kernel, then setup to your heart's content. Starting tomorrow the flashaholics should be happy (and no, you won't be losing any data between flashes, they're just patches)

I just wanted to add clarification. I respect RMK, but I was also a bit disappointed in Virtuous. I tried to talk to him in private and requested permission to make some changes to Virtuous (such as updating his outdated Sense apps), but he seems to have moved on to the G2.
So, I'm disappointed with how Virtuous has come out, but respect RMK as a developer. I wish that I had his talent.
Although I may not flash this I do appreciate the work you've put into it. I do think this is awesome. And again thanks guys for the rundown on the difference between the two. Now I know a little bit more about the odex and deodexed stuff. Thanks.

The second post will be used for custom addons. I encourage others to share what they're using (and how they got it to work if a workaround was needed) so that we can build up an addon collection for this ROM.
For now I'm using Peanut with;
Lou's #8 kernel
Sexy Sense Icons (w/white battery charge number)
no location (removes the E911 location icon from status bar)
3-in-1 reboot menu
Evo camera (for the on-screen button)

I didn't edit the build.prop, do it may prompt you for an update, but not actually allow you to update. If there is an update, I'll make the same changes to that ROM that I make to this one.

Yes, you do have to do a full whipe before installing this.
No, not me nor anyone who worked on any part of this rom is responsible for eventually any damaged caused to your phone or life.
Every file for the rom and or the rom itselve are flashable with clockworkmod recovery brought to you by Koush (Rom Manager).
Changelog

1.0.02 : restarted entire rom, fixxed known bugs
Removed kernel say thanks to the people who reported it to the mods
i aint willing to share fault source, maybe in the future when htc added right source
so for the so called "dev" who wanted my code, you lose

have you rebooted after install? if yes, try a full wipe. and be sure to have the LATEST radio. otherwise no gingerbread for you..
I'm not on this ROM, but without wifi I do not test
everything seems to be working
I will test that tonight
added my theme part ^^
Nice going Hawky!
Good to see some progress on the IS..
Weve been busy on the DS ourselves... pop around and let me know what you think of my CoreDroid port
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060742
P.S
When you get a minute can you check something in clockwork on your IS.
I think it may be a bug in the DS but whenever i use the format cache command in edify (yes it is typed correctly lol) the recovery doesnt flash the zip but instead aborts installation with a status 1 error code.
Just curious...
Cheers pal!
P.S
sorry for the o/t
