This ROM based from Official Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM V20N Germany.
The nandroid backup are provided by N00BY0815.
This thread posted in DEV section (as suggested by Mrs. reinbeau), because we will have planned another cooking time with this ROM, such as deodexed apk/framework, themes, kernel, and optimization.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Reformatted ramdisk to use EXT4 EMMC partition.
default.prop setup to having rooted device ro.secure=0
Original and still completed APK and odexed, nothing changed/removed.
/system/etc/flex/flex.xml: FLEX_COUNTRY_CODE="COM" to be Universal.
build.prop: ro.product.locale.language=en and ro.product.locale.region=GB,en to be English.
Zero byte of busybox replaced, and the symbolic link corrected.
Increase read ahead buffers on MMC devices: 1024.
ISSUES
This issues found by myself, as my personal review, and not everyone might have it, perhaps it has normally.
Opening Gallery seems take longer, perhaps related with lots of files, photos, and screenshots, sometimes got FC. Even it's already closed, it make the system much heavy, and looks frozen. Forced to plug USB cable and adb reboot.
I don't know why when we choose ringtone/notification sound, it show the name twice, but actually the original audio is just one file.

HOW TO FLASH
This ROM is NOT KDZ. Repackaged as .zip and flashed via CWM-Recovery, so you should have Recovery before you can use it...
Copy files P970_GB_234_V20N_signed.zip to SDCARD
Boot CWM Recovery
Wipe Data/Cache (if not wiped, might cause problem)
Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache (same as data/cache, might cause problem)
Install zip from SDCARD
Reboot.

But v20N has already released, I might take a look for this, tried to get it root first, then I might cook it if it works...

Great work Redy, just saw this now.

Switched back to CM7 #35, can't help it hahha... because i love themes. Also about the bugs i reported to you yesterday. I have a slim version for myself, with removed bunch of crappy apps and a little tweaks.
My connection is recovered up so i will reflash it again for testing.

The series that was EDT's first collaborative effort, "M", has returned better than ever.
Stats and FAQ's - READ THIS
Which Modem: KB5
Exchangeable: Yes, with any modem that works best for your phone.
Which Kernel: Supercurios KB1 Voodoo kernel, disabled by default.
Exchangeable: Unsupported but yes, with whichever kernel runs best for you - see the OP of the kernel you want to switch to for install instructions, prerequisites, etc.
Base: I started with a 100% stable version of UVKB5 with 8 lock screens, extended power options, am/pm toggle, ect., supplied by whitehawkx, and merged it with Meizu M9 FRF91, then recompiled several 10's of times until achieving 100% stability, I then merged this with the Meizu M9 GINGERBREAD 2.3.1 Version 20110429.154250 and once again recompiled several 10's of times until achieving 100% stability.
Launcher: Includes only my rebuilt version of the newest version of the rebuilt ARC launcher.
Uninstallable: No
Do other launchers work: Unsupported but yes, most all launchers will work with M11, including TW4.
Theme: Meizu M9 2.2 and 2.3.1 mix with 100/100 accurate battery with numbers.
Can flash other themes: No, the most you can do is theme this framework as it contains a custom set of images and xmls. Technically, you can flash any KB5 theme over this but you will revert it to stock xmls and lose M11. There may be a flashable twframework-res.apk soon to change the quick panel icons, there may not.
Bloat: De-bloated but includes Bloater to re-bloat if desired. Also contains several ARC widgets and Sony wallpaper chooser.
Battery life: Slightly better than any stock KB5 running Voodoo.
EDT Tweaks: No
Can be added: Yes, but unsupported and not needed on M11.
GPS: As usual, built for this rom in particular.
Can flash S.GPS: Yes, but unsupported and not needed on M11.
Sounds: Full set of Meizu M9 GB sounds with English titles and build.prop edits to assign.
Animations: Custom, though subtle, animation edits.
Boot Animation: The original M9 Clone, un-animated, bootanimation.zip with no sound.
Can change: Yes, by renaming the .bak's in /etc and /media - note that there is no shutdown animation, if you want to add it, it goes into /media/video and you will need to remove the .bak from the shutdown in /media/sounds/ui or replace it. This is all unsupported by the way.
Titanium Backup: I am not a fan and will not be supporting the use of the app, even though it is included for your convenience.
Install:
Download M_11.zip and save to your sdcard.
Boot into recovery.
Factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache.
Install M_11.zip
Reboot.
Give it time to settle down and reboot again.
Download <168.77MB> - http://www.mediafire.com/?cbdgassg7cd6w2k
Download latest 8 lockscreen mod <9.41MB> - http://www.mediafire.com/?9ubsqwu2er81wtt - This is a flash, be sure to wipe dalvik if from rom manager or from within recovery.

V 1.1 is named framework-res.apk, for Alpha testing purposes, is attached to this post. Push it.
V 1.2 Attached - zipped but not a flash - push it - will fc until reboot. - Pop up boxes are too small, causing text overlap. Will be moving back to 1.1 and going back forward.
V 1.3 - Final Revision attached - zipped but not a flash, push it - With this revision I had to back off from the GB a little and re-merge with FRF91 in order to solve some issues with the rom - This is the last update of framework-res.apk and will be included in the next milestone.
Nice! Downloading!

Anyone else, or is it just me?
I haven't edited the update script yet to test if a couple of edits to it fix that up, thought I would see if anyone else ran into this.
EDITED - NVM, was a problem on my end. All good, and booting M11 now.

MOD EDIT: As of November 7th CoreDroid officially moved all its support to another site.
Due to repeated kanging from other Roms as well as needing CST paid version to obtain the latest version of the Rom, anything related to the CoreDroid team is not allowed to be posted anymore on XDA and is from now on considered warez.
This includes: Signatures, links, themes, as well as any work developed by the CD team or included in any Rom.
TL;dr: If you included anything from CD in your work, you have to remove it.
We appreciate your understanding on the matter in hand,
XDA Moderation team

Very nice looking ROM, will be checking out very soon
Instructions:
How to flash? What do you need?
- HTC Incredible S S-OFF
- Radio S-OFF in order to flash new radio
- Recovery ClockworkMod
FAQ:
RECOMMENDED RADIO:
20.2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M
Download it here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13467904)
How do I flash a new radio?
- Just put the PG32IMG.zip on the root of your SD Card and boot into fastboot.
- Follow the instructions on the screen.
How to get ENG S-OFF:
For now its only possible to get S-OFF by XTC Clip. Check if there’s anyone who can help you out in your country/region on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042997
Build looks slow/animations slow?
Use Spare Parts and set animations too fast that solves your problem.
When can we expect the next build?
Builds are released based on the testing results. Please do not ask us about ETAs, we are working on getting you a reliable and stable build. Patience my friends!
Can I update without losing all my apps and settings?
Yes, each release can be flashed without losing your data. But I recommend making a Nandroid Backup before updating/flashing.
Can you provide a mirror?
I strongly asks everyone to download only from the links provided above. The reason behind that is that i pay HOTFILE every month and with the downloads i can keep my premium account. Also it lets me know how many people downloaded and from that i base my priorities for builds.
How can i Change system/app/... apks skin or icons?
Since this Build is optimized and Odexed you will need too take some precautions. First you will need a APK Deodexed that you trying too change. Then from within the Build you will need too delete the apk and the respective odex file.
Example:
(Changes to the browser)
1. Inside Build system/App you will find Browser.apk and browser.odex you will need too delete both files.
2. You will need a browser.apk Deodexed which contains the Browser.apk & Browser.odex merged into one bigger Browser.apk
3. Make the changes and then push it to system/app (don't forget 1st step)
Another way would be to use an Android kitchen to deodex the entire system/app and then you will have the system/app deodexed then just change what you like.
Where is Boot Animation, Boot Sound and Shutdown Animation Located?
They are located in SYSTEM\CUSTOMIZE\RESOURCE
Should I use a task killer?
Task Killers are NOT advised! They do nothing but kill your battery and stop processes that aren't supposed to be stopped. FROYO 2.2 manages tasks pretty well. Here is a good read: http://tinyurl.com/NoTaskillersThxScabes
How do you make these folders in the screenshots?
This is an APP called "Folder Organizer". This question has been asked a million times thats why it is here in the FAQs even though it is not ROM related.
My Premium Navigation doesn't work correctly. What should I do?
You can try following things:
- reinstalling Locations under Settings ---> Locations
- removing from your SD card /sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary
- re-downloading maps
Where can I access the settings for the CRT (TV) animations and lockscreen?
You can change these settings in Settings -> Display.
Where is the changelog and download link? They used to be on the first page..??
The changelog and download link (and much more) can be found at coredroidroms.com
How come I get low Quadrant scores on GB ROMs?
This is mainly because there aren't any custom kernels yet. We're using a stock GB kernel without tweaks or OC.
Are there custom kernels for GB ROMs?
No not yet. The source code for GB kernels has been released. So it's a matter of time now before we can get to use these.
How can I join the Coredroid team?
This is done by invite only and decided by myself or Sergio... From now on I will be posting the status here, which will be displayed as either "closed" or "looking for someone that can.."
STATUS:
- Looking for beta testers!
Can I use the CoreDroid banner you guys are using?
No, but you are welcome to use this one made by DutchDanny just for you guys (feel free to make your own and we'll post them here as well)

Thank you sir. cause that is correct! We want to make sure the ROM functions at it best when we release it, it should be ready with 1/2 days. That is also the reason there's no changelog and/or download available yet, as you can see, the title from this thread says "soon" .

Cheers Nerotix. Looking forward to the ROM!
This ROM is based on the 10b official LG Europe release.
Fully tweaked and modded in order to fit my needs
Nearly every apk is edited in order to get rid of these bad LG colours and settings. This was hard work and took a long testing/flashing time.
If you want to support me please donate!
If you want to use this ROM as base for own ROMs please always put me into the credits! There are many Pays-ROMs in the wild simply relabed without credits, don't be like this.

init.d scripts Noejn
If you want some removed apps back edit my paysscript.sh script in the zip file.
You just have to remove the lines of the apps you want to keep.
And if you want to remove even more apps feel free to add some lines more to it. You don't have to sign it
Don't try to set up a Facebook account or other SNS accounts, I removed that because there are much better clients, but still shows the option in the Setup Wizard, simply skip there. If you want to use SNS, just delete the SNS lines in paysscript.sh.
If a app FCs first check if you wiped correctly, second option go into the settings manager -> application -> and delete data of that app, try again.
If there is still a error please report.

I agree and by the way, you're welcome for using the init.d scripts on Nova. Which by the way, are broken and are not working. Unfortunately I forgot a detail and they aren't active. I'll fix it in Nova soon. You can't also use the mount one because your ROM isn't ext4. But it was a good effort anyway.
Lots of love to both of you, and those who like to spend time developing P970.

I'll fix it in Nova soon. You can't also use the mount one because your ROM isn't ext4. But it was a good effort anyway.

By the way I don't use the ext4 mount you use
With the init.d scripts I know that they do not much atm, but I let them in for future editing else I will forget them.
They don't affect the ROM and thats why I didn't mentioned them yet in the features above.
I did not took so a close look at Nova but I saw you mentioned that you are working on a custom kernel.
Is there any progress?
Yeah great to see that more people is coming.
Just one question : do we need to flash before the 10b ?
I‘m asking that even you wrote that in the steps because Nova rom is 10a based and I flashed it directly from 11b lol.

Great. This is getting better and better. Thank you so much.

You can try to flash directly, but do a wipe before, maybe you have to do a factory reset from the menu after flashing, too.
But this is the dirty way, tell me if this works for you.
I only guarantee for the clean and right way .
So when I flashed Nova, it was the “dirty“ way too ? Lol.
EDIT : why the symbols appear like that erf.

Atm I am on mobile on, so would be nice if someone else could upload it.
Also a mirror on someones server would be nice, my provider kills me if I host another ROM.
Very nice look and feel..
One small problem it seams that I can not connect to wireless network. (I come directly from Nova 1- clear cache, data and hard reset after reboot)
How can I get read of the player from notification bar?
As soon as i will receive money this month I will donate for you and Noejn also. You two really deserve some beers for pioneering work on this phone.

Thanks for mirror. I couldn't connect to wifi neither (Error when activating), so I tried flashing the experimental kernel from NOVA (Noejn). Wifi works great now, although I don't know the bad side of having this kernel.
Works great, even Wi-fi. Thank you!

Nova kernel is still very experimental.
Like I said, when I have more time I'll start from scratch and work on it properly.
By the way PaY87, this ROM is using the kernel I compiled for Nova correct?

Great job, green is m favorite color
But yes, about Wi-Fi, error occurs, when i try to turn it on. I also come from NOVA, maybe that's the problem.

That is the problem
When you do the fresh way with 10b there won't be any problems at all

saadislam - fixed the fm radio,new framework resized and settings menu edits ( cant thank you enough )
lo2ay/lewa- source of some bug fixes
Credit to dev of cronmoda2sd+
I absolutely loved this rom when i came across faia's version,but it had a lot of modding needed for xda sharing.
TODAY (thanks to nasty007) WE GET A CLEAN, XDA SAFE AND MUCH IMPROVED MOKEE (cm7 based)FOR THE WILDFIRE
Main credits to nasty007 for porting a new version of Mokee to our wildfire,this is a much improved rom and interface, Menu and settings are now all language specific,we had some bugs which are fixed and we still have some minor issues remaining. The rom is now ready for release. I have fixed main bugs as listed in credits.
Remaining issues/bugs.
*. You inform us of anymore, if anyone has solutions to any issues then please inform. Thanks.
I am not a developer and have little experience in major fixes etc etc so please don't complain or ask for eta's as they will happen if and when available.
Disclaimer
Flash at your own risk blah blah blah............ I am not responsible for you or your phone.
Recommended:-
Total fresh flash of rom and apps so no conflicts from previous versions or different roms arise.
how to : -
1.reboot into recovery
2.wipe data/factory reset
3.wipe cache
4.(Advanced menu) wipe dalvik cache.
5.(mounts and storage menu) format sd-ext,format system,format data and format cache.
6.(only for mtd users,skip to #8 if you don't use mtd) install bravo recovery file,repeat the format of system,data and cache from #5.
7.reboot recovery.
8.install mokee rom zip.
9.flash gapps.
10.reboot (mtd users,install the bravo boot file prior to reboot )
It is quite a large rom! so make sure you have enough space (Custom MTD users) - I would recommend 200 40 at 1st, then alter as desired after checking sizes)
Good size is 185 20 for me as I need quite high values for universal rom flashing.
The a2sd+ is still available if you want it.
Please be patient whilst on boot screen as it takes a while to boot up.
Cant think of much more to say other than..... give this badboy a chance.
I WILL TRY TO HELP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BUT REMEMBER, I AM NOT THE CREATOR OR A DEVELOPER.
Remember......give it time to boot
NOW I HOPE YOU ENJOY.

Beats Audio Enhancement (Headset Enhancement)
Updates (fixes and tweaks to be flashed over main rom)
Again many thanks to saadislam :good: :highfive::victory:
V2.1 UPDATE

Wifi scan interval increased and minor buildprop edit.
Overclock settings now working from cm7 settings
new cm7 settings applied
2.2-UPDATE
ALL THE 2.1 UPDATES + NEW FRAMEWORK BY SAADISLAM (fixes pattern lock sizes etc etc) + NEW CLOCKOPIA FONT
2.3-UPDATE
All fixes +
saadislams new settings/flash widget mods.

so do you get the data/app issue? check with esfile manager in data, app if you get another app folder and inside that another app folder and so on!! it duplicated 39 times for me lol.

you said you couldnt get his to boot too ? ive tested it 5 times on my phone before posting. are you using custom mtds ? if so you gotta reset them. or do you mean the bootanimation is different ?
So, what's up guys?
Since our L3 is a low end device, I started thinking on how to get things running faster and de-bloat our phones. So... I managed to rip CM9 to it's slimmest point.
What do I get by doing this?
- Approx. 45 MB free (depends on what apps did you delete)
- Faster boot
- Better perfomance (If you flash my slim gapps)
- Lots of free ram! :good:
Before you start, think that every app, every folder and every file that you could possibly delete, has a designed function. Also, this tutorial was written for advanced Android users. Proceed with caution.
Things we'll need...
- WinRAR
- Notepad++
- Our favorite apk's to replace the stock CM9 apps
- Patience
- A beer / Coffee (it's your choice :good
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Let's-a-go!
First, you need a rom to work with. Download the latest CM9 nightly from here.
Got it?
Let's work.
Once you got your rom, unzip it.

Now we can start deleting useless stuff.

The first thing we'll remove is Android's TTS folder (Text-to-speech synthesizing). Now we've got 6,15MB free.

/system/app/
Inside this dir. you'll find all the system side apps. Since you can't delete everything, I wrote a short list with the "safe-to-remove-apps"
* = Remove ONLY IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER APP TO REPLACE WITH.
X = You should REALLY remove this.
----------------------------------------------------------
* Apollo.apk - Music player
* Browser.apk - I Personally recommend NakedBrowser to replace it
Calculator.apk
* Camera.apk - Most Play Store camera apps doesn't support camcorder, so it's your choice.
X CMUpdater.apk - Cyanogenmod's update reminder (pretty useless)
X CMWallpapers.apk
X Development.apk - Dev's toolkit (useless for dumb users like me)
X DSPManager.apk - Just audio effects
X Email.apk
X Exchange.apk
X Galaxy4.apk
* Gallery2.apk - CM's gallery app seems to be very laggy. You can use QuickPick instead.
X HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk
X LiveWallpapers.apk
X LiveWallpaperspicker.apk
X MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
X NoiseField.apk
X PhaseBeam.apk
X PicoTTS.apk - Text to speech engine (You should also remove "/system/tts/" folder)
X QuickSearchBox.apk - Search widget
SoundRecorder.apk
X SpareParts.apk
X STK.apk - Sim Toolkit (depending on you region, this is TOTALLY useless and annoying)
Term.apk - Terminal emulator (many people doesn't even know what is this)
X Trebuchet.apk - Default CM launcher. Laggy and less customizable. Get your favorite launcher. I personally recomend you Smart Launcher!.
X VideoEditor.apk
X VisualizationWallpapers.apk
X VoiceDialer.apk

If you have a correction, suggestion, or you just want to yell somebody, post down here.
OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
- Light plus updated Google Apps to flash with your CM9! Includes Play Store 4.2.9
DOWNLOAD!
- TouchWiz Task Manager! End all those ram-eater apps!
DOWNLOAD!
- Adrenaline Boost Script! Clear your system caches and make your L3 fly!
DOWNLOAD!
Tips for better perfomance!
0. [Optional, highly recommended] Get in CWM recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache and battery stats!
1. Go to settings > apps > running and stop every app. The only things that you should have running are settings process and android keyboard, like this.
2. Then, tap in "show cached processes". A huge list of apps may appear, stop / close them all (except for your home launcher and android system's process)
3. [Optional] Use adrenaline boost script to free wasted ram.
4. [Strictly necessary!] enjoy your free ram! :victory:

Nice!!
Thanks for the tutorial mate!
When I first saw the thread's title, I expect slimming the ROM like those on ICS Slim ROMs (which only have 45-50MBs only), but after doing this, it only reduced from 120~MB to 90~MB.
30~MB is OK, I guess, but I think there are more useless craps that can be deleted out there...
Anyways, thanks again! Re-flashing my Modified Personal L3 CM9 ROM is quite handy now!
Why would this increase RAM/speed up the phone? You're just deleting a few files... I don't get it?
A lil bit,because the there things deleted which in normal case running in backround,i have noticed more free ram,30-50 mb more than before.
GREEEETZ!!!
Here's Why...

If you are using Greenify, you'll probably see those System Apps (like Voice Dialer) on system background, and it adds an additional RAM usage. Others, like the video folder and other stuff, are pretty much done to flash the ROM quite faster, I guess...? Oh yeah, and obviously reduces MBs for uploading... my guess again...?
I'm researching on that /system/src/srec/config and as of now I don't have an idea what it does that relates on the OP (Offline Google...?). So, can someone shed some light and share a link for that directory and how is it used?
There are a lot of apps that run in background, like Google Hangouts (aka Talk). No matter how many times you try to close them, they will start running again. So, if you delete those apps, you obviously will get free ram :good:
EDIT: Also, why would you have +10mb of android useless videos? lol
