Just giving you the heads up, Android development section is for posting your own Roms, mods, and etc.
But my personal favorite ATM is Fresh 2.1.1 Basic, but incredibly fast and customizable, and Flipz is a very active supporter. There are other great Roms too, but Fresh was my first.

I highly recommend DamageControl -- I update it to the fresh toast kernel so you can overclock. It looks a lot like stock but performs 10x better. The updating of the kernel is easy to do, and outlined in the thread /showthread.php?t=690238
Play with damagecontrol first, then if you want Overclocking (or, more correctly, reclocking), give the kernel update a try-- it's just basically flashing a file on top of the damagecontrol rom. Either way, it's way better than stock and still has sense if you want it.

Could i hey more information about damage control

It depends.
Me, I don't like HTC Sense (or rather, I got bored of it), so my personal favorite is Darchdroid 2.6.4. It is AOSP and like the Droid or Nexus One.

Read this. It has all of the information about the latest damage Control ROM

FreshToast is my personal favorite. Extremely fast and stable. Use it as my everyday rom when I'm not trying to fix roms with A2SD issues.

Is there a guide on how to install Roms?

usually the base instructions are included on the first page of the custom rom thread. That said you usually do this:
1) install a recovery image, I use this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672324
place the image of your choice - the only difference is the picture which is shown - on the sd card and flash the image into the phone by using the instructions here
2) choose one of the ROMs, I use the 2.1 roms and think you should try the fresh ROM 2.1.2 which is stable yet has the newest base without the overclocking. Go here and read the info and download:
http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-rom-212/
after you place the downloaded zip image on your sd card, you will need to place your phone in recovery mode by doing this:
a) powercycle down (press and hold the red hang up button for a sec until you get the menu and press power down)
b) next, hold the menu key down and then press the red hang up key briefly, you should feel the buzz of the phone starting but continue holding the menu key for about 5 secs until the recovery menu comes up.
c) At this point you will want to either nandroid backup your build which I think is not really necessary because your config will be so different going from 1.5 to 2.1. but you can if you want to restore back to a 1.5 rom
d) Next you need to wipe the data off the phone by choosing "wipe" and choose restore to factory default - this will remove all data from your phone
e) go to the flash from sd option and choose the rom you have placed in the SD card.
you need to confirm the flash by pressing "home" and away you go.
d) you then need to press "reboot" and the phone will shut down recovery mode and flash the rom. This initial flash will take a while, some ROMs take 3 mins some take 10.
After this you are up and running, if not, post questions in the forum for help.

1. Make sure you are rooted.
2. Find the ROM zip of your choosing and put it on the sd card (not in any folder)
3. Boot into recovery
4. Backup/Restore - Nand backup
(Optional if you want to use aps2sd - 5)
5. Partition sdcard
- just follow the prompts
- I reccomend also doing SD:ext2 to SD:ext3
6. Wipe
- wipe data/factory reset
- (optional a. wipe dalvik-cache b. wipe SD:ext partition) - only need to do if you are going to use apss2sd
7. Flash zip from sdcard
8. select your rom zip
9. press home to start flashing
10. reboot system and wait. Some roms take quite awhile to load up the first time (10+minutes)
Hope this helps. I'm sure there are other threads that explain it better than I have. Just search and you should find something.

I personally like Aloysius, nice color, very fast, frequent updates!!

"Rooting" 2.1 had nothing to do w/ making custom ROMs simply because you could pull apart the rom.zip and make a custom one even w/o having root. Gaining root just enables the people w/ 2.1 on it to free their phone basically

[ROM]Bring Out Your Dead.... We're Not Dead Yet - Obsidian 2.0.1 Release!

What a crazy 3 months it has been, with life in general getting in the way of development, but it's over and here is a release for everyone!
For the full list of changes please see the changelog at http://bit.ly/aH0ioL.
*Please note*
All Google apps that are available for download from the market will no longer be included in the CCRoms Google apps package, to facilitate updating the apps the way Google intends.
Also this release is FROYO, Gingerbread will most likely be our next release with this gem version's features ported to AOSP Gingerbread.
The Main Highlights:
Obsidian for the Droid X is now a fully stable build, some minor bugs might still exist, but otherwise it is rock solid.
Tanzanite for the Droid 2 is also stable build, since it is so close to the Droid X.
Emerald for the HTC Evo is also stable for all pre-2.10 and 2.02 hboot updates.
Sapphire is just as stable as ever.
Ruby has been updated to the Miui ril for better connectivity and is more stable than ever.
That's right we are now on 5 phones, Thanks for all of your support everyone!
Now for the important part, Obsidian 2.0, Ruby 2.0, Sapphire 2.0, Tanzanite 2.0 are released!
All Downloads are available under the downloads section on our wiki: http://wiki.ccroms.net
Be sure to read the wiki pages fully for known issues and install instructions for certain roms.
NOTE: Emerald has been having some kernel issues and 2.0 will be delayed slightly.

Just flashed, running very fast!!!! Thank you sniffle and CVPCS. And the post above is the official post from sniffle himself

Really awesome work. Is running very stable for me. Reboot ->Recovery works perfectly as well so there is nothing to fear for people uncomfortable without needing Koush's bootstrap app.
Love that the Nexus wallpapers are all included. Also digging all of the customization options.
Again, Thank you for your work.
EDIT: Also I should not that you should download the apps .zip file before you flash the ROM because the stock browser can't download from the site for some reason. I had to do it on my computer and transfer over. Not very difficult but it will save a couple minutes to just download it before you flash.

if you notice any bugs please post them to the bug tracker (bugs.ccroms.net)!
(be sure to check if the bug exists before posting a new one)
hope everyone likes the release!

quick question
So the Obsidian note in the op says stable, is the bug list on the wiki current? No pin point Gps, camera or cam corder correct?

yes. the wiki list is the current bug list. by "stable" we mean it doesn't reboot uncontrollably anymore. it's still in beta and has kinks to be worked out.

Could anyone be helpful and point me towards the install instructions?

Great job guys. I'm waiting until GPS and Camera are working though. Can't wait to see a Gingerbread release!
Also, you guys should get a Google Code page.

I'd like a install guide as well, I don't wanna have to SBF my phone.

I third that. Quick question besides how to install this rom...i notice that the wiki said it provides bad battery life. I have an extended battery, but if it is so bad at this time, can i sbf back to Stock? Thanks for the hard work

some tips...
http://wiki.ccroms.net/obsidian/releases/2.0.0

Sorry, that doesn't actually say how to install the rom originally. Just says don't use clockwork mod after its installed. Is this originally installed through cw mod then using ccroms own clockwork app? Also can you sbf back to stock if it isn't for you?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

for those wondering about installation:
basic installation procedure:
Download main (and possibly gapps) zips and push to your sdcard
Use koush's bootstrap recovery to get into CW recovery
NANDROID NANDROID NANDROID!
Wipe data/cache (Factory reset)
Install core zip from sdcard (no need to manually mount /system first)
(Optionally) install gapps zip from sdcard
Reboot
once in the system, do NOT use koush's bootstrap to get into recovery. instead, simply long-press the power button to bring up the global options menu, then select "Reboot" and "Reboot Recovery"
after that, you should reboot into CW again. from here you can nandroid all you like. nandroids from koush's bootstrap will work with the provided copy of CW recovery. note however that nandroids of obsidian will NOT work with koush's bootstrap recovery, as koush's bootstrap recovery does not backup/restore the /preinstall partition.
also, this installation only edits the /system and /preinstall partitions, so SBFs still work just fine if something goes wrong.

So if we wanted to go from another rom back to an Obsidian nandroid, how would we accomplish this?

On obsidian.. in the reboot menu... when u hit reboot, it give u the option to flash into recovery. Dont install the bootstrapper cuz its already included in the reboot menu on obsidian.

So you'd have to flash the rom first, then restore the nandroid? Is there an advantage to this recovery compared to bootstrapper?

Bootstrap is not a recovery, it is merely the "vehicle" that gets you into Clockwork Recovery. Basically this ROM comes equipped with its own "vehicle" to boot to Clockwork Recovery.

I think you are confused.
Reboot Recovery using whatever ROM you are on
Create Nandroid backup
Install Obsidian from .zip
Play with Obsidian
Hold down power button, press reboot, then reboot recovery
Now you are in Recovery again
Click "Restore"

If I'm running Fission (or any other rom) and want to flash a nandroid backup I created using the Obsidian recovery, I would need to first install the Obsidian .zip and then reboot into Obsidians recovery to flash back to the Obsidian nandroid. Correct?

[04/06] Download openZIO v.1.0!!!

Its been weeks in the making (and weeks in the learning as well)and we've finally got a release to put out.
Much props go out to Sorry_8D (for compiling .9 images), sinisin, mattix7242, echobinary and beata|coyote (for testing this theme for stability).
Last but not least: RedmanX, and Crawling @ irc.freenode.net for some help in sticky situations.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION!!!!!
Please.... Please.... PLEASE!!! Follow directions! If you don't know how to use recovery, STOP... DONT INSTALL THE THEME -- Go read up on clockworkmod recovery, get familiar, then come back and give it a shot!!!
1) First, you need to go HERE to learn how to use clockworkmod recovery with our devices. If you already know this, goto step 2.
2) Download zip and push it to the root of your SDCard.
3) Fastboot boot into clockworkmod Recovery.
4) BACKUP YOUR ROM!
5) Once backed up, clear cache and dalvik cache using clockwork recovery ("wipe cache partition" and "advanced setting -> Wipe Dalvik Cache")
6) Install zip from SDCard
7) Marvel at new Shiny.
Download link at the bottom of this thread.
Features include:
Custom Black Status Bar.
Dark Gray / Black Notification area (statusbar expanded).
All Status Bar text changed to white.
Changed all statusbar icons to high res. color icons.
Changed battery meter to read out percentage level (every 5%).
Got rid of "Roaming Indicator Off" msg on notification bar and replaced with "Kyocera ZIO".
Removed "Roaming Indicator Off" msg from Lockscreen.
Added a Custom Boot Animation (replacing cricket AND android logo)
Changed colors of all yellow/orange pngs to cyan/green.
Changed Font.
Added "Reboot" option to Power Menu.
Things/issues we know about:
Homescreen focus background is still orange -- working on a fix
Not all apps will conform to "white text" in the expanded status bar. Some will remain black. This is something that is hard to change because it is app specific in most cases. I've made the expandedview a gray color in the meantime so you can still read black text on it -- working on a fix
With the Custom reboot power menu, and battery polling readout, thats just 2 more widgets you can take off your homescreen!
Lets have a moment of Silence for the Roaming Indicator......

Enjoy all.

Thanks for all the hard work guys!!!! it works great and looks good, I even retained my kyocera splash screen. I guess with this, people like me can start making custom themes. Yay!!! couple of questions:
1. after compiling the .zip did you have to sign the package?
2. If yes to #1 what did you use to sign it?
3. What are you using to make the boot animation?
4. In theory - with clockwork working we should be able to flash other roms as well, right?

Fate... did you do a nandroid backup?
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App

In theory yes we could start to use other roms but its risky. Do a nandroid backup first, although others lost the Kyocera splash after using nandroid.

I did in fact do a nandroid back up. I was really surprised to see the "kyocera" splash screen when I rebooted after pushing the open Zio theme.

You only lose the kyocera logo if you "recover" from a backup. Just pushing framework doesn't effect the kyocera logo.

So I can backup with no worries?
I've been avoiding nandroid to preserve the splash for extraction.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App

Yes, the Kyocera Logo will stay until you run a Nand restore. After that it turns to the lovely white bar.

Awesome
Thanks much for the the theme. It looks AMAZING compared to stock! Im surprised such an inexpensive phone can do so much! This is the closest thing to a custom ROM we have and so far im loving the changes youve made. Ill continue to test and will report back.
PS
If anyone else has a Win 7 X64 system and is having trouble getting everything up and running, drop me a PM

Hi, does anyone know if this theme can also be applied to the Sprint Sanyo Zio?

As long as your on 2.2 framework. From what I've heard sprint stopped the 2.2 update. You are welcome to be the first sprint tester for openzio themes. Check to see if your on 2.2 or 2.1 before trying... be cautious because I can't help you if you brick it.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App

I actually updated to 2.2 the first day it was pushed out - but wasn't aware that they stopped it...
I shouldn't have any issues with the Clockwork recovery install - should i?
Thanks!

Do not install rom manager from the market. Use the openzio recovery and do not flash it. fastboot boot openzio-clocworkmod-recovery.img something like that.
You can do a nandroid backup but I strongly reccomend extracting your stock boot.img recovery.img and system.img using adb.

I dumped the boot.img using:
Code:

If you nandroid restore the stock boot splash image gets nerfed. Please research first, don't go crazy cause you want a theme.
Make sure you backup those 3 image files and remember do not flash the clockwork recovery, boot openzio's recovery.img
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App

Yes. See the clockwork thread also for instructions to booting clockwork with fastboot. If you flash with rom manager you Bork the phone and being on Sprint we may not be able to do anything for you at that point. See the clockwork thread in the dev section.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App

Backup the boot.img then power down to fastboot. Boot openzio recovery, do a backup! And if you don't have a SD adapter like myself, Don't theme yet. Reboot.
Boot normally and enable USB storage, find clockworkmod in your SD and copy to your computer! You might need this.
Reboot to fastboot and boot recovery, now install from zip... not update.zip
If you don't do this exactly as I say I cannot help if you brick your phone.

[Q] can't find a good enough guide - CM7

hello all,
relatively new to the forum.
last couple of days i've been looking for a guide to installing CM7 on my O2X.
I failed! I can't find even one guide with a-z instructions.
please, can anyone point me to a guide?
I did read quite a lot and got 2 conclusions:
1. It scares the **** out of me
2. It needs rooting which i've already done day-1 using SuperOneClick 1.8
plz help me,
Eitan

1. Download ROM manager from market
2. Open ROM manager, install ClockworkMod Recovery
3. In ROM manager, Download ROM -> CyanogenMod -> pick your ROM
4. When your download are finished, choose "Backup" and "Wipe Dalvik-cache", press install
5. Thats it

Warranty question
I'm aware that rooting voids your warranty. However, does anyone know if unrooting will make your phone look normal, and thus, applicable for the warranty?

can always install original rom at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041 using smartflash.
Note: all data in internal SD will be erased. Hence unroot phone.

Backup and wipe in Rom manager after you picked your downloaded rom.
So open rom manager, select "install ROM from sd card", find your downloaded zip file (on external sd), select backup and wipe from the popup menu, install.
Your phone are going to reboot into recovery and install your zip automaticly. When its finished, it going to reboot again but this time you should see Cm7 bootscreen

Can I ask two (potentially) stupid questions?
Say I want to use vorkkernel with the ext4 option:
1. Is ext4 considered stable enough for every day use?
2. How would I go about this? Format my internal storage to ext4, flash CM7 on, and then flash vorkkernel on with the appropriate flags?
Thanks.

Just flash the kernel, it will convert /system & /data to EXT4.
There is no going back to EXT3 afterwards though, you have to wipe everything to do that.

~HELP~ i followed the steps in beginning of post. CWM did its stuff ending with a CM7 installation. First boot of CM7 started and repeats endlessly.
How can I proceed?

[FIXED] ok, if this happens to any of you what I did to fix is:
1. shut the phone off by removing battery.
2. boot into recovery by pressing volume down and then while holding pressing power up.
3. in recovery: wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache & wipe data
4. in recovery: install from zip on sd card i chose the cm7 installation again.
(it can be found in clockworkrecovery foleder and inside in cyanogenmod folder
hope this helps.

Just one more thing... if, say, you install CM7 do I understand correctly that all apps bought before wiping everything will be lost and would have to buy tumor again??
Thanks for the help

[Q] overcome rom

Hi,
device info:-
samsung galaxy tab p1000
running 2.3.3 stock firmware
rooted with doomslord kit
i am new to flashing an android
i have downloaded and decrypted a firmware from checkfus downloader
question:-
1. Is the overcome's stock safe v5 zip and the checkfus downloaded zip same???
Please reply asap.
Wholehearted thanks for your help

I think checkfus downloads are many. You can't compare. They differ even amongst each other.
Overcome stock safe zip is not just a rom.
It is a package containing Odin, drivers, and modem radios, as well as JQ1 stock rom.

When you say factory reset do you mean the "Factory data reset" under privacy? or did you successfully install the Safe-Stock-Rom from Overcome's website?
There is a complete guide to how go from stock rom to Overcome 4.1.0 here: http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/?page_id=17

Hi SGTABHI,
You have heard wrongly. I am not a dev, just a busy body trying to help
Dimitrix points rightly to overcome guide.
The images there are broken, so go here instead
Go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872
See the guy phlooke posted a cached copy of the overcome guide.
Download it, it is a .PNG graphic file.
Now, you don't need to go through the whole restocking. We only need an overcome kernel 4.0 so that you have cwm.
So,
1) download overcome 4.0 kernel tar file and keep it in your PC
2) download aokp build 38 and gapps-ics from the link in aokp post. Put both on external SD card.
3) read the guide and jump to the part that guides you to flash overcome kernel.
Make sure Odin can see your tab and everything looks exactly like in the picture.
4) flash the overcome kernel and the tab will reboot. There will be a female robotic voice. Stimpz0r recommend no need to wait for finish. Just force power off the tab.
5) power up to recovery by pressing volume up and power button.
I find it a bit tricky sometimes, maybe the way I hold the button. But you will get there.
6) from cwm recovery, choose to install update from external SD card and browse to aokp zip file and install. Some message about checking bml/mtd and you see the tab reboot.
7) you may get a boot loop, it may not boot into recovery, or it may go direct back to recovery. If it does that it is normal.
First time coming from bml to mtd will do that.
Just flash aokp one more time.
You will notice the cwm is not the overcome one anymore. It looks similar but it is not. You will have to browse to internal SD card instead, because this recovery somehow calls your external SD as internal SD.
8) so flash aokp again, and when completed, flash gapps-ics
9) when completed just reboot and sit back and wait till it is done!
Remember if anything go wrong you may have to restock to gb stock safe. But quite unlikely.
Good luck.

I have just wasted quite a bit of your time. Seems like you are asking about Mobile Odin !
But anyway it should be the same.
Just put overcome kernel tar in sdcard and use mobile Odin to flash it.
I am not familiar with mobile Odin, but it should match closely to Odin.
One guy even told me it works for restocking to stock safe!

Little chance to brick.
Brick only happens if you broke the boot loader.
Yes, I guess flashing checkfus download via Odin should kind if "restock".

Hi SGTABHI,
......
Now, you don't need to go through the whole restocking. We only need an overcome kernel 4.0 so that you have cwm.
So,
1) download overcome 4.0 kernel tar file and keep it in your PC
2) download aokp build 38 and gapps-ics from the link in aokp post. Put both on external SD card.
3) read the guide and jump to the part that guides you to flash overcome kernel.
Make sure Odin can see your tab and everything looks exactly like in the picture.
4) flash the overcome kernel and the tab will reboot. There will be a female robotic voice. Stimpz0r recommend no need to wait for finish. Just force power off the tab.
5) power up to recovery by pressing volume up and power button.
I find it a bit tricky sometimes, maybe the way I hold the button. But you will get there.
6) from cwm recovery, choose to install update from external SD card and browse to aokp zip file and install. Some message about checking bml/mtd and you see the tab reboot.
7) you may get a boot loop, it may not boot into recovery, or it may go direct back to recovery. If it does that it is normal.
First time coming from bml to mtd will do that.
Just flash aokp one more time.
You will notice the cwm is not the overcome one anymore. It looks similar but it is not. You will have to browse to internal SD card instead, because this recovery somehow calls your external SD as internal SD.
8) so flash aokp again, and when completed, flash gapps-ics
9) when completed just reboot and sit back and wait till it is done!

This is the BEST AOKP install instruction I've ever seen! I will bookmark this for reference just in case anyone need this.

Priyana, thanks a lot for the guidea mate, very helpful.
Thinking of flashing my Tab with CM9. Some questions though.
How easy will it be for me to revert from ICS straight back to Overcome? Can I just flash Overcome kernel again, then flash Overcome ROM?
Will that work?
Also quick question while we are here, how stable is ICS? Can it play 3D games like Fifa and Nova without crashing?
Cheers mate!

No, you will need to do repartition with the correct pit file to go back to GB. You will need to do it via odin or heimdell.
ICS now is quite stable for daily use. but some lags in some 3d games.

Thanks a lot priyana...
I successfully updated my tab to aokp ics.....an everything is just fine and perfect.......only the first boot scared me to death as it took 5 mins but after that only 10 secs...thanks a ton
bluetooth receives every format except apk..... any solution?????

Some sort if security I think.
The only way is to rename it first.
I might be wrong.

10 sec boot?? My tab takes 2-3 mins to boot: first 2 boot logos, then black screen(1.5 mins), then laggy boot animation (1 min). Is that normal? B#38

I found out a solution......use Bluetooth explorer by medieval soft....and install it on both android devices...the received and the sharing device....then open it's directory and it's done......
10 secs thing was written out of ecstasy..... but my tab takes no longer than 20 secs......
Priyana can you guide me about changing the default boot animation .....
Your guides are perfect....

Hi,
Sorry, I am not that well versed in boot animation.
But one member, yappoe, have done a few alternative animations and he posted them on theme sub forum.
You can have a look there.

As long as you installed AOKP SGT7 or CM9 correctly you shoul have root access.
1. Download Root Explorer from Google Play store if you don't have one yet.
2. Download the bootanimation zip file and rename it to bootanimation.zip
3. Using Root Explorer, go to /system/media folder. Change access to R/W by click the R/W button on the top.
4. Find and rename the original bootanimation.zip to origboot.zip.bak.
5. Move the new downloaded bootanimation.zip to /system/media

IN AOKP SGT7:
1.Go to System Settings > Rom Manager> Navigation Bar > tick Auto hide.
This only work if the games or apps actually support auto full screen.
2. On home screen, Add > Shortcut > System UI >Toggle NavBar
This will allow you to manually do hide NavBar/status bar for full screen.
3. Go to System Settings > Rom Manager > Power Menu Options > tick Show Navigation Toggle. When you want full screen, just long press power button, you will notice new Navigation Bar Controls toggles. Press the power toggle under there.

The ebook app from original samsung doesn't work in aokp....app not installed......any solution....one of the best apps i've ever seen
