[BETA] Bare-Bonez v0.1
DON'T GO ANY FURTHER UNTIL YOU READ THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE BELOW!
This rom is based off the stock cricket 2.2.1 rom for the Zio M600. This rom will not contain all of the bloatware and unnecessary elements that come with your everyday stock rom. This rom contains the bare essentials to operate. If you were looking for the cricket applications that came with the rom they are not there anymore, but feel free to go to their website here for anything cricket related. I am not responsible for you lack of knowledge on how to take this bare-boned rom and customize it into what fits your liking or for any thing that happens to your phone because of what you did to it. I will be available to answer any questions you may have but that is all. This rom is just to provide users with only the elements they actually need while also providing performance tweaks to make your Zio M600 move like it is supposed to.
IF AND ONLY IF YOU'VE READ THE ABOVE CONTINUE

Can you upload the zip to xda?
Sent from my Zio using xda premium
I can not since it is to large of a file to upload to xda's .zip attachment system.
It won't let me download, can you dropbox it?
Sent from my Zio using xda premium
Not at the moment but tomorrow I might be able to do so.
Can anyone else download and upload to dropbox so end users can download straight to their Zio?

Believe it or not, I just had someone offer me (sum too much to speak of) for my Zio, so I just sold it tonight.
Ironic, eh?
But, the good thing is that I can go get another one since Cricket is still selling them for only ~$50 but I have to wait a few weeks till I actually have enough to get the first month of service (wish I could just buy the phone but, whatever).
Anyway, so while I won't be participating at this precise moment, here's my contribution - the first ROM uploaded to Dropbox as requested. I haven't used my Dropbox account since I created it, so I have no idea how the hell it works to be honest (signed up so a friend got more space or whatever, no idea). I believe this link will get the download for anyone, but I'm not sure about the bandwidth potential and it getting throttled or capped or whatever.
Regardless, here ya go:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19019338/v0.1.zip
Hope to be testing this thing soon but, it'll be a while.
So I've flashed the rom and it has plenty of extra memory, I'm not seeing much difference in ram. Also the cricket mobile web app is not needed since it is only a shortcut to the browser, and since there is no browser you can get rid of it and some of the other cricket stuff.

The cricket's apps appear for you? O.O
On my phone they are not there......
Which one's are still auto-installing themselves onto our phones?
I have a script that can remove those applications from our phones if they are still appearing for some of you.
The ram difference isn't available yet due to my init.d script not working either because of the kernel or my permissions or something else.
This is no where near finished yet

So far my experience with this phone is that the wiping dies not erase anything. So the stock apps will not be gone unless the end user removes them. I installed a custom boot screen over the cricket one and it has never been removed. Even after I restored the stock image it was still there.
I will be installing vbox on my laptop's windows 7 OS later and unpacking the kernel stickied on the forum and the one in open zio to see why init.d scripts aren't working and what are the differences I'll maybe have an updated release of the rom next week....

I noticed that myself, as I can't get the cricket stock apps to re-appear but I have a script for you all to run if you want those apps gone. It wont work though until I figure out this init.d startup script problem. As for your "boot screen" do you mean splash image or boot animation?

the boot animation. before spaz created his rom the only way i could install a different boot animation was to overwrite the stock images with alternate ones for a custom boot experience. I removed all the cricket apps right after I got the phone plus half of the google junk that i dont use.
edit...
hey i just installed your rom. only one small issue you should include some kind of file browser so we wont have to push one onto the system to access our data. also it would be nice if you could add the reboot option like spaz did.
It's because I didn't do a wipe of the data partition. I figured the updater script would do the wiping.

Mattix nope it doesn't wipe the data partition that's why I instructed to do so
As for jlmancuso I have never added a reboot option to the end button long-press options. But I can add a file browser Is ES File Explorer okay? Or would a different one be better?
I use ES file explorer myself. Though any browser of your choosing would be perfectly acceptable. I like the stripped down style. Keep up the good work.
I'd say root explorer but it's a paid app... I can also make a backup of gapps and upload a zip.

As for gapps I already have that ready for the next release but thanks for the offer. My main focus is the init.d script problem which i can't really examine until next week/this weekend maybe. But I'm working on it.
Is anyone else getting force closes on the Google search app, and force closes in acore while attempting to save contacts?
I think there was a few too many pulled off the system that are necessary for everyday use...

were the force closes due to not having a browser at first boot of the rom? or when you have a browser downloaded from the market does it still force close?
if so in both situations i may have pulled to many apps. i'm still working on them rom atm
after installation,
safe boot menu => toggle safe system => (yas) enable safe system backing up ...., restoring .... swap to safe sys. complete , safe is ENABLED (color green)
now, back to 'reboot system now' i see the M logo and the 'safe system ENABLED' ......and....Black screen!?
battery pool, restart => do safe system DISABLE and it's boot properly
Did you install a rom in safestrap mode? That's normally why you would get a black screen as you need something to load.
Nonsafestrap and safestrap modes are a dual boot system.

That is most likely why. You have switched over to the Safe Strap system, but you haven't loaded a ROM to the safe system... so it's trying to boot, but there is simply nothing to boot yet.
I would suggest maverick 3.0
Can't wait to try maverick. But I must say: liberty rom has been amazing (speed, battery life, etc.)

Mavrom is not bad. Pretty fast but battery life isn't as good as liberty. Mavrom has the physical keyboard alt keys mapped wrong. I fixed it by copying /system/usr/keychars and /system/usr/keylayout from liberty into mavrom.

I'm gonna need to try flashing another ROM. I waited to get back on Verizon before flashing cm9 because the xt883 radio was apparently an issue. Now that I'm back on Verizon, I try to flash cm9 to my safe system and no dice...black screen no matter how long I wait :-\ hopefully it's just some dumb little step I keep missing. It's not a wipe issue because my safe system hasn't had any custom ROMs flashed on it yet, and I've wiped anyway lol.
Before activating back on Verizon I did a full reset via the fast/easy unbrick method. Seemed to get everything clean.

CM9 seems to have a bit of a special flashing ritual. Check out the threads on CM9 for the exact instructions and other people's findings.
I've been pretty happy with Maverick 3.0 as well. Fixed the physical keyboard (thanks Endoroid). I had Liberty before that and it was very good except no real option to enable or disable data roaming, there is no battery/data manager. Mav is not as customizable as Liberty (although it does have a toolbox with various themes to choose from) - it's been smooth and stable so far. I'm using Mav with Tag Home as a launcher and I keep a bunch of quick shortcuts collected in a couple of folders in the drop down using Bar Shortcuts.

With liberty you can check battery stats settings>applications>battery manager(or whatever)
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
Yes I agree, I wish Liberty had the data roaming option available. I read about a line that can be added to Liberty's build.prop to turn it on. But I also read that it may require a wipe. I did it anyway (without wipe) and will see what happens on my next trip to the US...

I just got my Bionic and got the OTA upgrade to .902.
While restoring some apk's from my original droid, I inadvertently restored ADW Launcher which seems to have replaced my stock launcher. (I know, I should have had a backup - duh!)
How do I get back the standard stock ROM? I can get Eclipse and Liberty running, but I just want the stock (at least for now). I want to be able to take future OTA updates as well.
I looked for a .902 fxz file to flash with RSDLite - but can't find one. If I try any other fxz file, I get a CDT.BIN error on 1/15.
PLEASE HELP! ANYONE?
Unr3l3as3droot and for3v3r root, then path saver. I have a post linking to path saver and there are plenty of links for the unr3l3as3droot and for3v3r root.

I am a bit new - can you tell me what these do?
Unr3l3as3droot
for3v3r root

I think I have for3v3r root and path saver - but not sure what's next.
Unreleasedroot and forever root will take you back to stock 886 and make you rooted forever. Path saver you will use to move your phone back to 901 and still be able to receive ota. Essentially you will be taking your phone back to the way you got it then updating it back up to date while keeping root and being able to get future ota. Doing all this will give you stock 901. After that you will need to download the ota and instead of.installing it, move it.from /cache to your external SD card. Then you will turn off the bionic. To turn it back on, hold both volume up and down as you hit power. This will take you to a different menu than bootstrap or safe strap. In this menu setup is where you will flash the ota. Just remember that volume up in this.menu setup is like hitting enter so you can only scroll down. If you come across a triangle warning after flashing, just hit volume up and down again and it will flash.
Give yourself an hour to do all of this, maybe longer. I would include the links but I'm on my phone. I have a post that links to the directions and downloads for path saver (it was kind of hard.to find, they put it in general Android development instead of bionic development) . Just click on my profile and look at the threads I started or scroll down through general bionic until you find path saver. Umr3l3as3droot and For3ver root are pretty easy to find.
Don't worry about being new as we were all new once. Things will start making more sense once you get more used to it. The more you read through everything, the better off you will be.

I had the same issue after installing go launcher (pre-.902). In my case I was able to use a home switcher (Homesmack just happened to be the first one I found) and enable the stock launcher and set it to default.

In that scenario, you could also go into your android options under applications and clear your home screen default.

You would think so. But the option was greyed out. I even installed an additional launcher so it would give me the option to choose again but the stock launcher was not a choice. IIRC, I found a thread while googling the issue that indicated that its a bug.

If you use titanium back up pro which I highly suggest you can remove system apps yes you have to pay but imho it is worth it. That will be the easiest way probably but be carefull and only remove apps that are not needed. There are system apps that are needed and if you remove them you can run into a world of hurt
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app
anything branded At&T should be completely safe to remove. any other programs you want to remove just make sure you have a back up in Titanium (incase deleteing/uninstalling it does mess something up).
edit: Root uninstaller is free and will uninstall anything, and always make sure you have a back up of anything you cant stand to loose(just in case)

You would be by far better off to go into applications manager and simply
disable apps you feel or think are bloatware, that way they would not be
using any resources at all and if you by error disable an app and find out
later that the app is needed or required you can simply enable it again.
Good luck!
Use Titanium Backup and freeze/uninstall anything.
