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.

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.
Hello guys
I got an optimus 2x, and was planning to root it, or whatever you call it From day one, I was really dissapointed with the LG stuff, it got better with launcherPro, which made my homescreen much much faster and smoother. I think this phone has enormous potensial, but bad software. Therefore, since I am new to this forum, I am looking for the "best" root or rom thing for it. Maybe there is many different versions, but I like things clean, simple, fast and smooth. thats what she said.
Anyway, I've seen a friends rootet xperia, and he said he got some new UI with folders and stuff. I dont mind this, only it is good, and maybe it will be customisable still?
Problems Ive had with the phone: Random shuttdown, ugly apps like facebook for LG and antivirus etc. Buggy lockscreen. Battery goes to 0% when it randomly shuts down.
Is it wise to get 2.3 on the optimus 2x? I would love some inputs from you guys also, what you like the best and some general experience. Will I be able to update my phone when im rooted, like from the settings options from the phone? dno if this is important or not.
Anyway, links would be appriciated to official threads or direct links to your recomended roots/roms. Thanks
I have no experience with this, so a HOWTO guide or a youtube vid would be nice. Ive only done jailbreaking on 3.1.2 on 3gs
Cm7 is still in a nightly on the o2x but it has alot of bugs, i think. Mdc fr17 is very stable and fast, it's 2.2.2 though

If you want a clean, simple, fast and smooth ROM like you said ide go for the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version -
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...om-rom-for-the-lg-optimus-2x-vanilla-edition/
This is also extremely stable as its based on the stock ROM but with all bloatware removed, also read some of the pinned topics on the links below, this will show you all you need to do.
http://android.modaco.com/category/506/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/
For bleeding edge stuff, hope on the CM7 nightly train, but don't complain if it crashes.
If you want stability, then try the MoDaCo stock based ones.
You don't need much of a tutorial to do it, use SuperOneClick to gain root, grab ROM Manager from the Market and use that to install ClockworkMod Recovery... download the ROM you want, wipe & install (also via CWM if you don't want to fiddle)
Hi
If you don't want to install a custom ROM:
have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751
-Install latest firmware and baseband for your region (or another region if you prefer)
-root your phone
-Install ROM Manager from Market and install ClockWorkMod Recovery from there
-Install dexopt fix
Now that you have a good base, look in market for an app to uninstall system apps (I have used Root Uninstaller). To completely remove system apps I think you need to remount /system rw, else you can freeze apps for easy restoring if you mess up.
I would also recommend installing launcherpro from market (replace home screen and app drawer) and google stock lockscreen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033776&highlight=aosp+lockscreen
Thanks for the help guys. Im gonna try the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version. I have an exam tmrow and will therefore not try it out until the afternoon. I also have to read some, and learn the difference between root and boot, and some of ur advance words havent found a real guide yet, but have the iso and all those other folders that was in the Modaco Fr17 Vanilla version.
great fun
I think the phone drain battery too fast in 2.2 (official rom)
I loose 40% of battery within 6 hours without using anything (when I'm sleeping during a night)
That's why I change to use 2.3 and I found that the battery problem is gone
I loose 1% in 12 hours.
I'm also new to the fun world of android. I've learned alot by simply reading threads and using google to explain som of the terms Read the roll up thread very thorougly, explains alot.
I'm now using CM nightly #31 and it's been very stable for me.
Just do some backups and start toying around with your phone, it's fun!
..but I like things clean, simple, fast and smooth = cyanogenmod!
So far, from temasek is the best.. he got a custom kernel too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421425
My Opinion,
Android 2.3 from teamsek. It is just brilliant.
Android 4.0 from xxMrHyde + Nova Kernel is quite good keeping in mind the state of ICS on the 2X.

i advice to newcomers to flash first a stable CyanogenMod build.
then when they want to go further flash a Custom Kernel (for CM7 i think the best one is Etana)
after that take what ever you want! Try, try and try.
but pay attantion to not become a flashacolic :silly:
try nove HD
Nova HD is also great . now im using it..

Me too, it's the best ICS Rom i've ever seen, no lags, super fast (@1ghz!) and IMO completely stable, just some little bugs.
I present you my first publicly released (and probably last) ROM for the Legend.
This isn't something revolutionary. It's just a ROM I've cooked for myself and i you willing to try it, go ahead. It contains a hell lot of stuff made by others which are respectably credited (I hope ).
Always make a nandroid, and flash on your own risk!

Issues
Even if you use A2SD, internal memory may shrink very fast after installation. That's because Darktremor Script is enabled by default and this is due to dalvik-cache not being moved to SD on first boot. Use A2SDGUI to move and rebuild it. This can take up to 5 minutes.

Great ROM! If only it was based on gingerbread though...
Minor update. DL link updated in first post.
you know what would be cool a froyo sense rom were you have gpu ui rendering and pinch to zoom in photo gallery and in browser like 2.1 used to have instead of using HTC`s stock crappy ported rom that made a pretty good phone running on eclair performe horrable in froyo (performance increase my ass, the phone may be better under the hood but for a simple picture viewing.........
and having andother app on it to do that, kinfa makes the sense rom worthless
wouldn`t you agree

Wow, I know which ROM I'm heading to if I ever need to go back to Sense. Well done!
compare android 2.1 with sense for legend (browser, gallery app, fps in games) and any 2.2 with oveclock you will see a huge difference as the 2.1 is much smoother because every 2.2 sense is stock based and it runs horrable (nobody tweaked it in the general ui)
or maybe my legend just hates 2.2 roms
I tried this ROM, and the Adobe Reader gets FC everytime I try to open it

If you're not S-OFF or unlocked it will. Just like any app trying to write something to /system.
So far so great! I wanted something wellworked that WASN'T a Gingerbread ROM - Why? Because they're worse for the Legend since there aren't any bloody drivers, making wifi unstable and breaking tether into forced ad-hoc mode, which doesn't work with my Transformer ICS.
I think I'm S-On though, which is poop.

What he said was true, Froyo Sense base roms on HTC Legend are worse than Eclair Sense/Espresso ones. I had a lot of chances to compare these in the past (while I'm still using HTC Legend) since I cooked them alot. The FPS of 2.1 is always higher than 2.2's (using Neocore to benchmark), and the UI is faster for sure.
Fortunately, the ported 2.3 Sense Rom from HTC Wildfire S/Salsa is as smooth as 2.1 Sense (as I remember), so definitely HTC did a better job and Froyo Sense was totally a failure.
Hi guys
Is there farsi or arabic or persian patch for this rom?

Help me Please
hello everyone. first post as you can see. i m not new to the android world, but i m not into modding, so after the buggy stock rom bugged to death, i installed a early CM7 for the SGM. it was maybe 6 months ago.
right now it pretty much ruined. the cache or some inner app folder started to build up, and i tried all kind of things to free up space, till 2 hours ago when i did something and now i cant install any new apps, and having only 13 MB left is not good. i want to start over, but this time i want to do it my way.
what is my way? well, tell me my taste sucks, but i think all of the GO EX apps are awesome, so i'd like to flash a new rom, if possible using just the CWM, that will have the GO: Launcher, SMS, Dialer, Contacts, Calander and Keyboard. the full monty. i dont want wallpaper manager, or google voice (doesnt work in israel), or "Car Home" (what ever that is :| ). for mediaplayer i use playerpro. i want it to have all of those as the basic package, and also opera mobile.
so, the questions (after all the demands lol) are:
1. is there a very basic, flashable from CWM, ROM, that can do the job i need?
2. if the answer for 1 is no, how hard is it to take a basic rom and mod it to suit my needs?
3. since i learned to live with my buggy CM7 and pretty much not using many apps, i can also just install some good rom (using CWM) and let that be. but is there one good rom out there? it seems that in the development forum its all about beta rom's witch S voice and ICS or something like that.
3.If u want a good and stable rom use MORe or Mebitek and kittenlinux's cm7 is very stable too
2.There are plenty of guy in the developement forum about how to make custom rom
1.Use stock

2. looked there, it looks complicated :|
1. the stock got samsung crap. TW, samsung apps and all that. is there a vanilla android ROM? (again, if it works the easy CWM way it would be great).

2. It not really that hard search the one by mv_style
1.MORe and emanon v3 are good vanilla the new emanon is a libit bloat.
If u don't like any bloat app use titanium backup to remove them and u can also use titanium back up to convert the apps u like to system (long press the apps u like and thre will be an pop up)
