I have a rooted Nexus One 2.2 and I really wanted to keep my stock ROM (there are always issues with cooked ROMs regardless of how well they are prepared) but I also want to be able to morph/mod my device a bit.
As you may tell I'm a bit of a noob so I'm just wondering if this is possible without flashing a custom ROM?
What would you like to change?

You say that regarding cooked roms, but the same can be said with any of the "mods" you want to use. Everyone is different, even you stock rom may not be immune to "stock" or the most basic mods. But I get what you are talking about.
You can use setcpu to oc your processor. There are a bunch of metamorphs you can use to customize your phone as well. They even have a circle battery mod that you can use WITHOUT being rooted. Only thing is, that mod does not overwrite or replace anything. It's an addition to he existing features.
Not to say all mods are worthless, being a CM6 user for a while and then going through eVil D's sense files and now Rod's MIUI files are welcome additions to people like me who like a lil spice in their daily flashes lol.

I'm just looking for some bits and pieces.
Circle Battery in Notification Bar
Notification bar colour change
etc
If your looking for aesthetics then I'd suggest using a launcher like adw or launcher pro... And you can only underclock without a different kernel.

Simple to do. I use the stock FRG83 ROM myself with these exact changes. First thing you need to do is get a deodexed version of the ROM. I use the one found here by Geo411m: Completely Stock Deodexed with busybox
I then went out and found all the images that I liked from various other ROMs and themes and made my own update zip file using Geo411m's FRG83 Blackbar Add-on v1.2 addon as the base.
Just take a day or so and learn how the themes work and that the framework-res.apk file can be modified using winrar or winzip and then you should be on your way.

I have a rooted stock Froyo on my N1.
1. Is there a tool or zip file (that I can flash using Rom Manager) that would allow App2SD for all the apps on Froyo?
2. Is there a way to get H or 3G instead of always 3G, while being rooted on stock?
Thanx in advance
1. Install Mod Install Location from the market.
2. Not that I'm aware, but I could be wrong.
Thanx for the quick reply
Anyone for question 2?
No, system framework needs to be modified for that - which means the ROM has to be deodexed and framework needs to be recompiled - which means it's turning into a custom ROM.
Right but that's still "stock" to most people. Check the ROM forum, there is stock froyo ROM that is also deodexed which means it can be themed with the H icon. It's definitely possible.
Thanx for the replies. Will check it out.
If you install CM6 RC-3 you can set it to force install to SD and it already has the "H" symbol
^ yea, I'm thinking to go that route since CM has those 2 features plus minimal music controls on lockscreen as well as battery %. All are features I'm interested in, so rather than trying to patch the stock to my liking, I might just get CM and remove ADW and get LP instead
I am new to rooting and have Cyanogen RC3 on my N1 and love it! All the customizations are endless. Especially all the Apps2SD.

So I'm new to the captivate,im rooted and only using suckerpunch kenrnal. I don't want a changed theme or anything but what is the best way to go to max my phones speed? I'm running froyo and I'm already oc'd to 1.4 ghz.

run a 2.2.1 rom like jpy or js5 and you wont really need the overclock and lagfix but sounds like you'd do it anyway. the kernel really makes the biggest difference but putting the best kernel over a laggy rom just doesn't make much sense. im using the dragon rc3 rom, it is based on 2.2.1 firmware from a chinese version of the captivate and the ui is butter smooth. there are many other good ones too. and soon enough there will be cm7 which will have other enhancements.
there is also the minfree settings and scheduler but you should have one of the faster schedulers on by default with that kernel. most other sleed related settings are built into the kernel.
Well see I'm looking for maybe a tweaked stock rom. I love the samsung interface on the captivate. Overclocking seems to help a bit but I still feel a little lag here and there

So I tweaked a few things and all is 99.9% ok. Now I wanna deodex,any way to do this without flashing a rom? Or maybe a way to flash a custom rom and then get back stock theme?

By deodexing you will have essentially created a custom rom. Unchanged, but custom none the less. You would have to pull all the needed files - deodex - and then push them back. More steps then flashing a custom rom. There are a few roms in the dev section that are for the most part "stock deodexed" with small changes that do not really effect the look of the standard samsuck interface.
Explore the dev section.
lol ok ill just read all the post's. i was thinking maybe i could shortcut but i know that isnt how things work and samsuck? damn i thought samsung did pretty good with the galaxy s phones

Would like to know this as well. Did some searching and didn't find anything either.
By stock do you mean AOSP?

I think the reason that no one has themed the stock KB1 ROM is because the stock ROM is not deodexed.

This!
I was going to deodex and experiment with themes made for Cognition, but it just seems easier to flash to Cognition!
I did get some parts of the Matted Blues theme for Cognition to work on stock KB1. All of the icons in the notification bar (battery, 3g/edge/wifi, silent, and USB icons) worked as well at the toggles in the notification bar (wifi, bluetooth, gps, silent, and auto rotation).
From what I have tried, that is as far as the theming can go on an odexed ROM.
Wow man... you should keep trying to develop this. Or other developers for that matter. It would be cool to have a theme for the stock kb1

Hey guys,
I was just thumbing through the themes section and came across this post.
I'm currently running a modified KB1 theme. I've only made specific mods to certain aspects of the KB1 theme that I wanted to see either shaped or colored differently. I'll make a mod to the status bar, the contact layout, the dialer, notification menu, etc....
For me, I'm just having some fun making my own tweaks and mods without flashing an entire ROM. Just my preference for now. I'm also learning more about the file structure and the links between certain files and file types by doing so.
Just in case anyone was interested and wanted to do as I am doing, while keeping their stock KB1 Froyo 2.2 ROMS and have the ability to make certain mods and tweaks, you can find an in depth step by step tutorial on deodexing a stock / odexed ROM.
You can find the thread right here
Have a blast...
Peace-
Cool thanks man..

im looking for a superclean froyo rom.. stock froyo debinged debloated zipaligned deodexed..
these are easy to find on fascinate forums. but im having difficulty finding them in your forums as there are so many custom roms..
mods please stop closing my threads. this is a valid question. i have a rom chart from my last thread (closed) but they all look like custom roms to me.
what is your stock froyo rom called? ex ours in fascinate are called things like (eb01)
KB1
But you probably won't find anyone with a debloated zipaligned deoxeded version, it's still crap without all the fixes from the custom roms.
Cognition 4.x was close to stock Froyo, but it has since gone custom crazy. Andromeda 1.2 is based on a stock Captivate ROM for the Armani version and while it has some nice tweaks, it is still pretty close in appearance and function to stock, but without all the bloat.

i second the Andromeda 1.2 vote. It is running flawlessly on my cappy, and is what the stock install should have been like (you get the bonus of a georgio armani splash on boot)

It was a limited version of the Captivate designed for Georgio Armani. Electronically, it is the same as our Captivate in every way. Software-wise, it has a customized version of Froyo with some Armani touches like the bootscreen and system font. Andromeda simply removes the carrier bloat and adds performance enhancements like Voodoo lagfix, working GPS and some other nice touches. It runs flawlessly on my Captivate.
For lite and quick, I've always relied on Andromeda or Paragon RC6.
As for just a stock 2.2 without the bloatware, I've never actually seen any.

includes bloat, but also includes titanium backup and root for you to remove yourself
Thanks Piratghost, I've favourited that. It'll be handy to have!
Why don't you just do it yourself?
Root
Use titanium backup to remove the aps you don't want
Follow the how-to and deodex
I am not sure about zip aligning, but I know you can so everything else pretty easily.

PG. Is that .zip flashable with CWM?
Yes it is.
Andromeda is 100% flawless. You could flash cognition 4.2.1 non OC. pretty much stock with a few bonuses

Ok just to try something, I flashed the zip PG posted. Everything went smooth. The only extra thing I had to do was use super one click to enable non market apps.
One tip I learned: if you use ti backup to remove unwanted apps before resorting, you will save yourself a lot of extra scrolling!
Btw, I am now running at&t 2.2 rooted, sideloading enabled, CWM, voodoo lagfix, matted blue theamed, plumb bob gps fixed, with 6 unlock screens, extended power menu, H (hsdpa) icon, and blackout gingerbread live wallpaper.

I think I an explaining this correctly, enabling sideloading allows you to install apps from sources other than the market. Ie: you can DL an apk right to your phone and install it.

I created a transparent Gingerbread launcher2 for my own use on Pete's GPA Rom and thought others might like it as well. I was inspired by the CM7DarkLauncher by MyPaT and while it worked on Pete's Rom, it lacked the tweaks and quickness of the modified app drawer by Pete. Make a backup before flashing in case a problem arises and let me know if anyone has any problems as this has only been tested with the latest nightly of Pete's Rom 9/29 so it may or may not work with other roms, just flash through recovery and enjoy. I've also included a file which reverts the launcher to the one included in the nightly 9/29 (which I haven't tested but should work).
Again, I want to thank MyPaT for the idea as well as for the update script which I stole (I believe the script removes ADW if you have it so just a heads up, I didn't know how to make my own), and of course Pete for the amazing rom.
Flashing now bbl
Edit thanks
