Sorry for posting a new thread.. I wanted to start over with a better control of it, with FAQ's involved, etc.
PLEASE READ THE FAQ BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION!!! Thank you
Want a progressional review of the rom as it goes on? Read the amazing view by Blair at Gizmo Ninja!
Droid X ROM Review, rubiX ROMs! Updated 11/22/2010 Droid X AOSP/Vanilla ROM! | Gizmo Ninja
Since these two are so closely related, I'll be posting them together.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS ONE IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE LEAK, ONE IS NOT
Change log from 1.8.6:
Updated tweaks (credit to Collin_PH for some of them)
Kernel tweaks (NO this is not a custom kernel upgrade of any sort, simply set the CFS to behave more like a BFS) i'd like to thank inkarnit for working on these behind the scenes with me. He helped me test the kernel tweaks
These kernel tweaks will kill your quadrant score. If you score ~900/1000, you know they are working. These quadrant scores are changed in the I/O scheduler, but increase cpu performance and the like. The phone OVERALL will run FASTER and SMOOTHER than before. THESE LOW SCORES ARE NORMAL. Linpack scores, on the contrary, will increase.
Added transition animations (credit to Myn, and JsinLegacy for pointing them out)
Re-optimized, zipaligned all apks and framework-res/moto-res
OGG (sounds) optimized
Updated moto files with 2.3.320 files (some anyways)
Now compatible with OC on boot (seems to not work on the leak) and will not cancel out my tweaks
Bootstrap is installed on boot (takes a few minutes), to reboot into recovery, either run the bootstrap app or type bstrap.sh -r in terminal emulator *STILL BETA*
Some other things I can't remember right now, will update when my memory is better
Full changelog in previous threads, this is only the difference between 1.8.6 and 1.8.9/1.9.3

FAQ
Q: My Gmail doesn’t sink! Your rom brokeded my phone!
A: Download it from the market, set it to sync in accounts, gmail settings. You should get a notification asking permission. Allow it, then re-check the sync email option.
Q: I can’t voice search! Dubya tee eff?
A: Download Voice Search from the market. It was removed since Google likes to update things constantly and I can’t keep up with them. I’m not a themer, I have no need to
Q: My HDMI doesn’t work!?
A: I know. I’m working on a fix, and am getting close.
Q: Why is my phone so awesome now?
A: <Insert cheesy answer here>
Q: Why does my phone randomly reboot some times?
A: Moto's screwy behavior with the bootloader and the security checks constantly checking for blur. This causes all of the phones memory to be eaten up (mostly at times when the screen is locked) and reboot to free it again. This is also an issue with their framework, and not just the blur security checks. It's being worked on, I promise. Every release, you all test a possible fix
(This question drives me crazy but I have a full answer now)
Q: Why is my cell standby ~50%?! That's why my phone dies in 0.02 seconds!!!!1!1
A: No.. Your phone dies because A: you are overclocked and your phone doesn't like it, B: Your phone doesn't like my tweaks or C: Your phone doesn't like me, period. Cell standby is a graphical bug caused by improper permissions. Currently, I can fix it, but if I do, you cannot wipe system before installing without a hard brick. My rom AUTOMATICALLY wipes system, and I will not get rid of that feature because it saves A LOT of issues on my end, and on yours.
Reserved for Themes
Note: All themes from 1.6 work with this rom, but i'm going to link them here when I get done writing this paper!!!
Downloaded and Installing now
Just flashed and I'm not finding the 3G Hotspot app.
thanks for your hard work. I appreciate it.
I wish I had one of the phones that could stay stable at 1.2 or more OC.
Lucky if I can hang at 1.2.
Overall, it is working great for me.
Edit-
stable at 1250 after settling down. Working my way up.
sinful blue by JsinLegacy working great

It worked fine for me.. Going to get back to it.. sorry guys
Thanks for addressing HDMI Drod. DEFINITELY looking forward to that appearing in rubix or fission!!
+1 on the 3G Mobile HotSpot app -- the mynet APK is in /system/app, but it doesn't show up in the app drawer. I upgraded from Rubix 1.6, so I didn't do a full wipe. Could that be causing it?
Also, is there any chance that you could remove Swype from the ROM, and just make it an optional download? I'm a beta user for Swype, and it works wy better than the built-in version. But every time I flash a new ROM, it kills my version in favor of the ROM's one, and I have to wipe both versions out and reinstall it from scratch.

The new version doesn't force close on your DX?
Downloading now...I think I need to clear some of the old Roms off of my sdcard. They're taking up all of my memory!! So what's different between android 2.2.1 and the old version of 2.2?

Pretty sure drod won't be removing swype...
Easiest way to solve for you might be to dl the .zip to your computer first, and use 7zip (or winrar, or whatever archiver you use), open the .zip, and yank out the /system/swype.apk file. That way, you don't get swype, and it shouldn't affect your beta version.
HTH!
No, it works just fine. I do have to wipe all existing Swype files from my phone, though, before I install the new beta. I just do a global sarch for "swype" in Root Explorer, then delete every single found instance. After that, Swype installer installs without any issues, and downloads and installs the latest version.
I know this is contrary to the point of the rom, but does anyone know if there's a way to add the facebook "account" setting back into the rom? It integrates so much more smoothly than the facebook application. Thanks in advance.
Seems like the battery percentage is a little off. Sent you a PM Drod.
The Droid X dual touch keyboard keeps force closing as well.

How so? I find the Facebook app's contact integration to be far better. You get a link to their profile page in the FB app via quick contact tasks. The only thing you lose is the social messaging integration, but I hardly ever want to go into someone's contact just to see that stuff. And as the FB app gets more features it's starting to make Moto's FB less useful in comparison.
Booyah! D/l'ing now!
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL THREAD.
IF YOU FIND ANY DUPLICATE THREADS WITHOUT PROPER CREDITS FOR ME, PLEASE REPORT.
I SHALL TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION
Most of you might be very much familiar with the rooting procedure. Its the process of giving yourself superuser permissions (ex - administrator in windows xp ).
If you are using a custom rom, then there is no need to specifically root your phone. But if you are using stock roms, then there is a guide to root in the forums.
Once rooted, you can now take your own decisions for your device which include improving system performance or flashing custom roms using cwm recovery or using any of these below listed apps. Use it wisely, as playing with your device performance can have damaging effects.
I AM NOT AT ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE BY YOU.
Moving on, many of the rooted-on-stock and custom rom users might already know most of these apps and their uses, so this thread is for the begginers who have just rooted their devices.
Further, most of these apps are available in the playstore (mostly paid, but if you want the cracked versions, you can find them in the internet.
So here are some of the apps that might be usefull for you. I will also update this apps list as soon as, I find more usefull apps.
HIT THANKS IF YOU LIKE THIS THREAD.
Titanium Backup -
Losing all the apps on your device accidentally or while flashing custom rom is a bad feeling. Re-downloading every app is a painstaking work so fortunately for root users, Titanium Backup provides the solution. Titanium Backup is a powerful backup utility which stores your apps, app data, and system data on your SD card for safekeeping. Titanium Backup can also painlessly remove, freeze-unfreeze any app, including system apps. This app can be configured to run its tasks on a schedule, and the $3.99 donate version allows you to set up multiple schedules for the various combinations of backups it is capable of performing.
ROM Manager -
ROM Manager allows you to flash almost any ZIP to your phone, whether it be a kernel, ROM, app package, or radio image or even initiate a nandroid backup.
Although it is strongly recommended to use the clockworkmod recovery or rz recovery for cfw and odin for stock, as many mini users reported it was bricking their phone.
ShootMe -
This app is for all those dev's out their, who want show the world what they have achieved.
ShootMe is a screenshot capture app that allows you to take a screenshot of your mini with a simple shake of your device.
Juice Defender: Ultimate Juice Defender -
Juice Defender is a battery conservation app. It uses various triggers, rules, and timers to control how often your device utilizes 3G/EDGE APN’s and wifi. These data connections are the number one drainers of battery life when your phone is idle, so Juice Defender allows you to decide when, where, and how often you want them to be active. Ultimate Juice ( paid version of Juice Defender) must be installed over an existing copy of Juice Defender, which unlocks a few additional capabilities for users with root permissions. It also provides some extra goodies for root users including the ability to adjust CPU clock speeds on the run to conserve battery, which requires root permissions.
ES File explorer -
This an application for exploring your phone’s directories.
For developers, its usefulness is self-explanatory. For the average user, it certainly is a solid file explorer with a better interface especially, ES file exp. One more unique feature of these file explorers is the ability to modify permissions settings on files or folders. It comes packed with some solid features apart from the conventional file viewing. Its completely free and is available in the market.
Root explorer -
Similar to any other file explorer app in the market. But its specialty is that, it can crawl deep into the deepest corners of android and modify them like the elusive dalvik cache to sd. Its a paid app available in the market.
Cachemate -
CacheMate is cache cleaner app like no other cache cleaning app does it. Two, CacheMate can clear certain data from the device. This was/is extremely tedious to accomplish and linux does not handle this. Three, CacheMate clears cache from the SD card. While you can go and do this yourself, CacheMate does it all for you just by a simple tap on screen.
Reboot Control-
Reboot Control does 4 things, and 4 things only:
It allows you to reboot, recovery boot, wipe handset or bootloader boot with a single tap. The real usefulness of QuickBoot is in the ability to make home screen widgets for these functions, so they’re always at your fingertips. Since, almost all the custom roms these days use this as a built-in function so this app can be usefull for the stock users.
AdFree -
Blocks data access to a list of sites that store ads. Speeds up browsing experience as the ads aren’t downloaded along with the site and even blocks many ads from displaying in many of the ad supported apps.
Virtual Button Bar -
If your mini's buttons are about to fall off or something has happened and your buttons no longer work, then this app can save you a lot of time and trouble. Its entire purpose is to provide on-screen emulation of the dedicated hardware
buttons on most Android devices. The app offers various customizable features, such as user-definable buttons and positions, lockscreen animations, the ability to change various hardware button actions (volume, camera, etc) and a few
aesthetic variations such as transparency and button size. Virtual Button Bar is $1.63, but there is fully-functional trial available, as well in the playstore.
Call Blocker -
If you have specific numbers that you want to be blocked each time they call, then there’s a good chance you’ve turned to apps that automate this process. There is one problems with that, though:
Most apps still let your phone ring at least once. That’s where Root Call Blocker rises above the rest. Root Call Blocker detects incoming calls at the system level, so it can block them much more efficiently. In fact, it’s so efficient that it blocks the call before your phone even rings, so you’re completely unaware that the offending caller has tried to contact you in the first place. The app offers
many other features as well, such as call logs, multiple rejection methods, multiple profiles, caller grouping, SMS auto-replies, and much more. This app is not free, but there is also a trial version so you can give it a try before dropping any money.
SetCpu / NoFrills -
These apps let you control the speed of operation of your mini. They come with all the latest governers and I/O schedulers, though some roms governers are rom specific. Also, an Overclock kernel is required to use this app.
LBE Privacy Guard -
This is probably one of the best privacy guards that are ever seen apart from the pdroid patch by Yagya. Its functionality is akin to that of a software firewall, with some elements of Windows UAC thrown in. LBE sits in the background and “listens” to your apps as they request various permissions and then provides you a notice with options to either grant or deny access.
Dual Mount SD Widget -
The inability to mount your SD card to both your phone and PC at the same
time can be quite annoying, as you can’t access any of the information or apps that reside on your SD card when your device is mounted to your computer. Dual Mount SD Card is a simple and practical solution to this problem, as it allows you to access your SD card from phone and PC alike while it’s mounted. In order for this app to function properly, you must first disable Android’s auto-mount option, using the widget instead. This available on the playstore.
Hexamob Recovery Pro -
If you’ve ever accidentally deleted any data from your mini, then Hexamob Recovery Pro is here to save the day. Hexamob Recovery Pro is a data recovery tool designed to grab deleted files from either the SD card or internal storage of your Android phone. It supports the FAT file system, and offers the ability to scan the media for specific files types, including audio, video, images etc.
Total Commander -
Total Commander is a feature packed dual-pane file manager for Android, based off of the popular Windows file manager of the same name. It really is the only file manager that you’ll ever need. Most of the CM7 roms come cooked with it, in case you are using stock this will come in real handy.
Sixaxis Controllerer -
Sixaxis Controller allows you to connect a PS3 controller to your mini, giving you the ability to have a full gaming experience on your handset. You grab Sixaxis Controller form the Market for $1.62.
Wireless Tether -
Wireless Tether remains the best way to utilize your mini as a WiFi or Bluetooth (PAN) hotspot. Its free and its open source. Available in playstore. But, it is certainly a battery killer so use it while charging the device.*
Shark For Root -
It’s essentially a stripped down version of WireShark. It’s a particularly geeky app to have, but for developers or those of us obsessed with monitoring where our traffic is going its a great app. Shark monitors all network activity on your device (presumably from all interfaces) and outputs a .pcap file by consrving quite an amount of battery when compared to other apps in the playstore. So use it and know the difference yourself.
adbWireless -
adbWireless does exactly what its name implies, all without the need for a USB cable. There really isn’t much to say as the app is, quite literally, a big red button that you can push to enable/disable wireless ADB connection. There’s also a widget for those times when you’re too lazy to fire up the full application. Its available on the playstore for free.
Move2SD Enabler / Install manager -
Move2SD Enabler or Install manager, allow users to move any app to the SD card. Like adbWireless, it’s as simple as pressing a button. It’s free and both the the apps are available in the playstore. Although scripts like s2e and link2sd etc are there its sometimes convinient to use apps like these.
Market Autoupdate Bulk Toggle -
Another simple yet incredibly useful root-only app:
Market Autoupdate Bulk Toggle. This is an app that takes the Market’s auto-update feature to a whole new level:
Pressing "Autoupdate On" does exactly what you’d expect: it turns on auto-update for all of your installed apps. That’s it – you’ll never have to confront that pesky "Allow automatic updating" option in the Market again. The only caveat is that the program only enables automatic updates for apps that are already installed and won’t apply to those installed in the future – for those, you’ll have to rerun Market Autoupdate Bulk Toggle and press "Autoupdate On" again. Unsurprisingly, you’ll still have to push the "Update" button yourself when an app receives a manual update (which only happens when its permissions change – not a frequent occurrence). Although this feature is present in the playstore, all those who like using the old market this surely comes in handy. It’s free and available on the playstore.
Theft Aware -
Theft Aware, while considerably more complex than the other items on the list, is an Android security app unlike any other. With it, you can remotely track your phone if it gets lost or stolen, wipe it, call it and spy on the thief, and much more. Its free and available on the playstore.
MyBackup -
Pretty much like titanium backup but, if you love backing up your phone’s
data but wish you back all of it up at once, all for free. MyBackup might just
be the perfect app. With it, you can not only back up your apps data before changing ROMs; you can also schedule backups, back up to your SD card, and back up things you never even thought possible, such as contact info, home screens, and SMS/MMS conversations.
This app offers two versions, a free version with nearly all of the functionality, and a paid version for $4.99. The main difference is that the free edition only allows you to save your backups on your SD card, while the premium allows placing them on Rerware’s servers, although I wouldn’t recommend anybody who
values their data to use a random online service.
DroidWall Android Firewall -
It will make sure apps on your phone don’t unnecessarily waste your limited data plan without your knowledge. The app’s main feature is turning off EDGE or 3G or WiFi access for any application, thus allowing you to restrict which apps can access the network. In addition to saving bandwidth, DroidWall can be used for security – just lock down a suspicious app to make sure it doesn’t try to unnecessarily encroach your privacy. As an added bonus, a log of what goes on is included.
Button Savior -
This is an similar to virtual buttons bar app, but with a slightly different and better UI. Button Savior might be worth a look.
Samba Filesharing -
Samba file sharing is the bomb. It turns your phone into an smb server and puts your sd card on your desktop when you’re on a wifi network. It allows you to share files between your mini and pc over WiFi as a Windows shared folder. With this free app, you can wirelessly copy files to/from your Android device via the same drag-and-drop interface you use when your handset is plugged into your computer with a standard USB cable. Even the security freaks have a reason to celebrate –
Samba offers customizable username and password options in addition to letting users choose a Windows workgroup name and a device network (NETBIOS) name.
MarketEnabler -
One of the most frequent excuses for piracy has to be "The app isn’t available in my country" or "Google doesn’t allow paid apps where I live." No longer!
MarketEnabler makes your Android phone believe it’s on another carrier – perhaps even one in another country. For example, a Swede could use this app to access Google Books, which is, by official terms, available exclusively in the US, right ? So use it and let the downloading begin !
SD Maid -
SD Maid frees up space on your phone’s SD card by cleansing it of "corpses in the basement," or unnecessary data left behind by apps no longer installed on your mini. It works with all roms currently on the forums. Use it and know the difference.
AutoKiller Memory Optimizer -
Hate using scripts like V6 supercharger ?
Then is THE app for you.
It tweaks your mini just like the V6, to run smoothly. It kills all the idle process running in the background and saves a lot of battery. You can choose various OOM values for all the apps like foreground, visible, empty etc. Donators are also able to choose alternate presets, enter Chuck Norris mode, and enjoy an ad-free experience. Its available in the playstore for free, worth a try.
zMooth root -
Another on-screen app. You must be wondering, whats wrong with this guy. Well, the only reason is my phone. My buttons are almost gonna fall off. So I pretty much like the apps which have various customizations. So bare with me .
Moving on, this app is on the same bandwidth as Button Savior etc. zMooth relies on webOS-like gestures rather than clunky virtual buttons. To access zMooth, users can start by simply pulling up a blue (default) bar from the bottom of the screen. To go back, they can swipe left; swiping right is pressing the Menu button; and drawing an "up-arrow" will return to homescreen. The $1.19 pro version adds the ability to change the gesture area’s width and colors as well as a "lightning strike" gesture for powering the device on/off.
LCDDensity -
It changes the font of your mini, virtually everything. This is not a resolution changer (lol) , as I have seen many comments in playstore. It simply changes the depth and space of your mini. Using the app is very easy – simply adjust the slider or click on one of the big rectangular buttons to alter the density, then click ‘Apply’ to restart your device and see the changes in effect. Of course, the smaller the font, the harder it is to press onscreen objects; the larger the font, the more screen space goes to waste.
Keyboard Manager -
When it comes to landscape keyboards, it’d be hard to top what HTC has going with Sense UI. If it’s portrait input you’re after, however, Swype is the cream of the crop. So how can you decide ? Should you manually change your input method each and every time you switch orientations, or type exclusively in one
position? As it turns out, you won’t have to partake in either of those practices; downloading Keyboard Manager will suffice. The app is simple:
Allow users to use one keyboard in portrait mode and another when they turn their phone on its side.
Live dmesg boot and live logcat boot -
You won't have any words, to being shown the real dmesg (kernel debug) or logcat (Android debug) log every time your mini boots up ? So this is an app for all those dev's out there who are crazy about logs.
Screencast Video Recorder -
Taking a lot of screenshots and "videos" of apps and games is a habit to you ? Then Screencast is your go-to app, especially for the latter. If you ever find yourself in need of a way to record what’s happening on-screen, look no further than Screencast. The app costs $4, but there is a demo available so you can give it a shot before you buy.
Game On -
It not only allows users to backup and restore game data, but download and share game progress over the Game On network. Yeah, you read right – share. Game. Data. Maybe you’re stuck on a particular part of a game. Perhaps you just don’t feel like playing through all the boring crap (Gta 3) and want to jump straight into the good stuff. It doesn’t matter the reason you want to progress in a game – Game On is the solution. Game On costs a buck in the playstore. So give it a try and happy gaming !
Chainfire 3D-
With this app you can play all the HD games on your mini. It comes with various visual gameplay options. Its a paid app and is available in the playstore. Do give it a try.
WiFi Protector -
WiFi Protector is a security app that protects your device from Wi-Fi sniffing attacks. It’ll detect and prevent ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) attacks, like DoS (Denial of Service) and MitM (Man in the Middle). Unlike most of the other apps in the roundup, this one actually offers a little bit of functionality for non-rooted users too. It can even defend your mini against WiFiKill, an app that can eject basically any user off of a Wi-Fi network with the tap of a button. Its a paid app available on the playstore.
Undelete -
This one is sure to save many people a lot of heartache. We’ve all mistakenly
deleted files before, potentially losing them forever. The next time that happens, though, Undelete is here to save the day by scanning your device’s SD Card, finding all the deleted files, and, in most cases, restoring these files. The app is free in the playstore, so there’s no excuse to ever lose another file.
Mobile ODIN Pro -
Flashing your firmwares the mobile way. Currently this app is not fully supported by our device but the dev claims it to be working on low-end devices like ours too. Check this out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899&highlight=galaxy+mini+mobile+odin
Call Master -
It’s probably the best call and text firewall in the playstore. It can control dozens of variables in countless situations – everything from blocking certain numbers during certain times of day, sending specific numbers to voicemail, to auto-hang ups etc.
avast! Mobile Security -
Last, but certainly not least is avast! Mobile Security – an app that every rooted user should have installed. I know what you’re thinking – an antivirus app? Really? Yes, really. This app is different than the rest of the anti-virus applications in the Market, because it is also the best anti-theft solution of any app. (The other features of the app are top-notch, as well, but the anti-theft functionality is its only root function). Why is its anti-theft so good? Because
it used to be Theft Aware , an app that is listed above. TA was bought out buy avast! and incorporated into its Mobile Security app. The best part is that the root function of the app wasn’t altered in any way – avast’s anti-theft setup is identical to Theft Aware in every way but with a wonderfull UI – it’s simple and intuitive, and when it’s finished, you can rest assured that if your device is ever lost or stolen it’s as protected as it can be.
avast! Mobile Security is free and if you only choose to install one app from this roundup, I suggest that this is the one.
30/03/2012 - UPDATE
Battery Callibration
If you have a regular habit of changing roms ? Then this is the right app for you.
Its a battery calibration app. It wipes all the battery stats/data from your phone and will make your phone ready to produce some fresh new stats. In this way your battery will last longer as it is always recommended to calibrate the battery after flashing a new rom. Its a free app and is available in the playstore.
BusyBox Installer
Did you ever feel, where can I get a old version of busybox ? This is a common query while using the V6 Supercharger, since it recommends a busybox 1.18.2 or higher version. So ever come across an app that requires an older version of busybox ? Then this is right app to turn for. Its a free app and many versions are available in the playstore so, choose wisely
Script Manager
"THE" app for applying "ANY" script for your phone. It can help create terminal widgets for apps that aren't available for that app, by simple taps of the screen. SM widgets is another add-on for this app so you can use its full power.
For a guide to create terminal widgets, you can check this out :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1509027
It can also help tweak your phones performance by applying scripts like V6, kickass, 3G booster etc. A must have app for any dev or tweaker. It can serve as a decent root explorer for an average user. Its available in the playstore for free.
Root Uninstaller
Annoyed by the fact that you can't remove those useless system apps ? No more ! This is that app, that removes all the useless apps from your mini. It can also freeze user apps, backup them, delete them, unfreeze them, move them sd card etc. Its a powerful to have and sometimes may come in handy some times. Its a free app available in the playstore.
Easy Tether
Too lazy to go into settings>wireless and networks>tethering>usb tether ??
Then this is your go to app. Its a one-click tethering app for your mini so that you can use it to browse on your laptop or desktop. Its a free app available in the playstore.
ScreenShot UX
A screenshot app that has all the cool features like shake to capture your screen. Its fully functional trial is available in the playstore. Use it and feel the app before investing in it
Screenshot ER
Another screenshot app. Its a completely free app in the playstore unlike any other in the playstore. As it is free, there has to be some way to chop our legs. . So that drawback is a 6-sec delay after taking every screenshot. Though if u buy it, you can reduce that delay to 1-sec. Some of its features are, screenshot preview ( various views for previews ) , shake SS, on-screen button, notification capture etc. Use it and the know the difference yourself.
01/04/2012 -- UPDATE
Z Screen Recorder
Probably the only app to give some competition to screencast app. Its a similar app compared to the screencast video recorder. It simply has two big buttons, when the app is opened. It simply records whatever is happening on the screen and saves the video to your sd directly. It has fully functional demo in the playstore. Try it before buying it.
SD Booster
The dev of this app claims it to increase the external memories speed upto 40 times than before. You can set this app to work from boot. If you don't believe me or the dev, just use any of the benchmark tools and see the proof your self. Its a tiny-free app available on the playstore. Do try it
SD Speed Increase
Originally developed by our xda member '"brainmaster". Its a similar app to SD Booster. The app has similar results to that of its competitor in terms of write/read speeds in any benchmark apps. Its also a tiny-free app available in the playstore.
System Tuner Pro
The most complete android system utility app/tool. It does all activities like backing-up your apps, task killer, logcat reader, terminal emulator, memory controls, freeze/unfreeze apps, activity recorder, system tweaker etc. Use it and you'll know the difference yourself. You can also setup widgets and notification indicators to any of these function and monitor your phone with real ease. Its a free app available in the playstore.
Tasker
If you have a habit of forgetting things ? Then this is the BEST app available in the whole playstore. Then only drawback of this app is, YOU. lol, yeah coz if you forget to set the tasker to do its task, then you are actually limiting its function. So moving on, Tasker is powerful app that has triggers which can make you remember the mildest things through its alarm and etc functions, 200+ built-in actions , task completion, scene/icon/design your own task according to yourself. So what are you waiting for ? OH wait, have you forgotten what you were doing ? Then first download this app.
Its a paid app available in the playstore.
That's all for now friends. Enjoy the apps and don't forget to -

Font Changer Root
Requires FULL ROOT and of-course a working-full busy boz. CWM and a backup(just for safety
) is recommended as a boot-loop MIGHT occur, according to dev. Moving on, this allows you to change fonts. You might be asking, Why root for a puny font changer app ? The answer is, it changes fonts. Yes it changes fonts of virtually anything, even the keyboard you are using right now
. According to the dev, it creates a buck-up of your default font in-case something happens. While removing this app, make sure that you restore setting of your default font. In case you forgot, just restore your nandroid back-up
.
It has the following features -
*font preview and changer.
*screen density changer.
*Quick reboot (after changing the font, a really QuickBoot occurs, thanks to this app.)
* localization of languages (English,Russian, Spanish etc. )
Its a free app in the playstore and a donate version is also available in case you like the app.
AnTuTu CPU Master
AnTuTu CPU Master is a tool for changing CPU/GPU speed. Its similar to SetCpu or no-frills. It slightly has better UI. You can overclock your device for faster performance or slow down by reducing the clock frequency. Its a tiny-free app available in the playstore.
Faster Fix Speed up your fix of your current location using your mini's GPS. Here is the link to the trick/hack used in addition to this app : Enjoy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...239713&page=18
Webkey
Using this app you can now control your phone from any browser. Yeah, you heard me right !
With this app you can send screenshots, control another phone, download-upload files, get gps location, read-write sms, export-import contacts-sms-call logs, terminal emulator etc.. So what are you waiting for ? Go ahead and try this app as its a free app available in the playstore
Root Checker
This tiny-free app DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT. Then why on the list :O ? As the name implies, it simply checks your su-binary and verifies that your phone is properly rooted or not. So this app is helpful for beginners who rooted their stock recently and lets you check whether you have followed the procedure correctly or not.
Its available in the playstore for free.
Spare Parts
This is a very handy app to have. It currently works only on custom roms and CM7. It a tool to control all your hidden interface changes in your custom rom. Going through setting for even changing even the screenlock can be painful, So this app save that time and energy easily.
It also allows you to change the screen transition type and its speeds, wifi sleep policy, useage statistics etc. Its a free app and is available in the playstore.
SuperSU
Another great app from a great master, none other than our ChanFire himself. After giving us some great apps like CF3D, live demsg and logcat etc, its time to include this great app to the list. Its a replaceable counterpart app for the superuser app by Chainsdd i.e our default superuser permissions granter by applying the standard procedure. So installing this app simply replaces you current/default permissions granter. Try it and as always perform a back-up of your apps and data. Its a free app and is available in the playstore.
Swapper
It lets you create, add and manage swap memory file without a swap partition on SD card. Reconfigure the app if you changed your swap size. This tiny app is free and its available in the playstore.
DroidTweaker Root
A small All-in-one app for your rooted mini. It also can mount the system partition as read-write for development purposes and also can clear dalvik cache directly by the tap of a button. Its presently in beta stage but its working fine for me. This tiny app is free and its available in the playstore.
AdAway
Its an app similar to ad-free. It uses leeches to prevent ads from being downloaded while browsing on your mini. Once you install this app and update the host files, you are ready to go for a ad-free experience on any app or browser. It even removes the ads from app that come with those annoying ads, this ultimately improves the performance of the game.
OTA Root Keeper
Want to " TEMPORARILY UN-ROOT " your device so that you can test some new app or tweak or get access to some stupid website ?? Then this is the right app for you. This app is created by the devs of Voodoo Sound specifically for galaxy s,s2 etc. It creates a back-up of your su-binary before temporarily un-rooting the device. It needs an ext-2, 3 or 4 partition for working. This tiny app is available in the playstore for free.
BuildProp Editor
As the name says, it an app to change and modify the build.prop for tweaking your phone. This is a good app to have for devs who like playing with OOM values. If you don't know what is build.prop file, then you should possibly leave this app let alone download.
It also has recommended values, keyboard layout and comes with a proper explanation. Before playing with the file, the app creates a backu-up of your current build.prop file in case you forget. So even if you are not satisfied with your tweak or an error has occured, you can simply replace the back-up easily.
. This tiny app is available for free in the playstore.

****FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT THESE ARE SPECIFIC TO MINIMOTO ROM****
This ROM should work with safestrap 2 or 3, but has only been tested on v3.05.
To flash, first create a ROM slot in SS3, activate that slot, wipe data, then install the ZIP.
Do not clear data again after installing - this ROM installs some necessary files to the /data partition.
Credits/Howtos
Credits :-
Hashcode - for every single thing that makes this phone still worth having. Particularly safestrap3, which allows me to mod ROMs on the train to/from work and still have a working phone the rest of the time
Buckmarble - for mavrom - I used Buck's /etc directory as a quick way to get this bootable under safestrap, and the battery icons from his framework-res.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612537
Chevycam94 - for Steel Droid ROM - I used his SystemUI.apk file to add power toggles.
I've used Chevy's to save time, but plan to do my own later with less theming.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278056
Opptimizer projekt - for the overclocking kernel modules
http://code.google.com/p/opptimizer/
Cyanogenmod team - for their fantastic mail/calendar/mms apps
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/
Motorola - for making all our lives more difficult
http://www.motorola.com
How-tos :-
===Over/Under Clock/Volt===
You can find a template overclocking script in /etc/init.d named "02overclock".
By default, all the options are commented out.
The script includes example values tuned for my specific CPU, so yours will probably not work with these values, but it also lists the default moto values for reference.
While testing, copy the script to /data and run it from there - don't put testing values in /etc/init.d or your device may bootloop.
To edit the script, type "rw" in terminal to enter read/write mode, then make the changes you want using your favorite text editor.
First, uncomment these lines
#echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
#echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
#insmod /system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko
#insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko
#echo hotplug > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Then start trying various settings for the 0,1,2,3 Steps of CPU scaling.
See the following article for details on tuning the VSEL and clock speeds to your device - proceed with caution.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14511-opptimizer-projekt-milestone-overclock-for-omap4-devices/
Once you have a stable set of values, in terminal "cp /data/02overclock /etc/init.d" and reboot.
Now your phone will apply these values on every boot.
Sounds cool, might give it a shot.
Couple of cuestions:
what launcher does it have? ( I know I could easily replace it, but, just curious )
since it's deodexed, do you reckon rom toolbox themes would work?

Launcher - ADW, latest as of today.
Theming - should be possible, only some static resources in framework-res.apk have been modified, which I don't think will cause any problems.
I'll update 1st and 2nd posts with a lot more info in a few hours, am at work right now, so not cool to be spending too much time on forums.
If I understand correctly this is NOT overclocked by default?
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
It looks fine so far, with one major exception: there is no settings->accounts & sync, so, since GMail is not installed by default, I cannot set my GMail account to sync after installing the app. (I do like to tweak these settings, so I'd have to see it back.)
Also, settings->battery & data manager->battery mode force closes (not a huge issue). Settings->battery & data manager->data delivery->Social applications force closes (expected that one.) If there is a way to disable these menu items, that would be a good thing - nobody like to get an FC.
Also, like Maverick, the default typeface dos not distinguish visibly between normal and bold type. In GMail, it is nearly impossible to tell which conversations have unread messages and which do not (unread have bold type on stock.) You can sort-of tell because unread and read conversations have a slightly different background, but it's too subtle to tell at a glance - you really have to look to see the difference.
Nice to see a new rom development
@Endoroid Yep - not overclocked by default - you need to tune the overclock script in /etc/init.disabled/02overclock, testing carefully. Only when you have good settings for your CPU should you copy that script to /etc/init.d so it applies on boot.
@doogald
settings->accounts & sync - I'd recommend using the built-in email client. It handles gmail really well and has sync settings in the app.
settings->battery & data manager->battery, settings->battery & data manager->data delivery->Social applications force closes, yep both those features are removed. I'll look into tidying up the XML so it no longer shows those settings.
A patch release has just been uploaded to the OP, its a fix for headphone connectivity, well worth having.
Next target is a tidyup of the settings menus and an effort to get notification power widget and better battery/signal indicators.
Meanwhile - does anyone know of a source for a better built-in browser APK?
The D3's default one doesn't remember mobile/desktop useragent settings, so I usually end up installing Opera instead.
it will be great if you add more languages to it....

Thanks. I'll look at the email app, but I generally prefer the GMail app for important message support, etc. Second, I like to tweak the sync settings at times - turn off Google+, for example, or turn on Picasa if I am looking for photos that I know I have online, and then turn it off when I don't need it (most of the time). There are other apps that store sync settings in settings->accounts, such as Dropbox, so I'd like/need to have those settings exposed. Also, I know that some people like to sync Facebook or Twitter contacts.
Lastly, thanks for taking the time to develop this. It's great to see another ROM choice.

You're looking at the interstitial advert between multiupload and the actual download site. Click "Skip Ad" in the top right, then you goto the actual download.
Don't blame me, blame crafty tactics by multiupload's commercial partners.
@palmwangja
I've found the reason AccountAndSyncSettings.apk isn't simply working when I reinstate it - it depends on moto's "blur" account syncing engine, which is heavily woven into a lot of the stuff I've removed to make this rom so small and efficient in the first place.
If we enable that bunch of settings, then the rom loses much of its point - being small and fast.
Instead of that, I'm looking at getting CM7's apk for the same function to work instead.

BTW, Will there be any chance of getting a widget on notification bar, just like any other ICS roms?
Your rom seems really promising, and can be one of the best daily driver.
Now I know the galaxy mini is a ****ty phone but is there any way to speed it up even just a little because it gets quite annoying using the browser and it's lagging all the time so is there any way to speed it up?

root your device and install from Play Store Greenify.
- Debloat as much as possible.
- Install a 3rd part launcher like Apex or Nova.
- use different apps than stock. For instance, Dolphin browser.
- Greenify what you can.
- Turn off all animations in the developers settings.
- Dump a .nomedia file in as many fklders as possible. (everything you don't need to see in the gallery/music player/alarms, notifs and ringtones, place one.) (you can still access the files through file explorer.
- turn off as many features as possible. Gps, talkback, any 'smart...' function, etc.
- consider a customROM (if there are any)
- turn off anything that's listening. S finder, S voice, Google Now. (including the one under the home button, if the mini has that.)

The best results I got.
Well, there are two ways.
1. Install another ROM
Yeah, I found this one to be the most effective on this phone. Not to disrespect the makers of ROms or anything, I tried at least say 50 different ROMs on this device and I felt startracker's CM11 Delicious Mountains was the best.
Even still, I extracted it, deleted few apps, and added few of mine.
2. Apps.
Well, this works for both stock and custom ROMs, although custom ROMs are pretty much effective. If you are on Stock and don't wanna change, as everyone suggested, ROOT your device. Then install Xposed Framework and its modules- from UI mods to speeding up things, you get everything here. Also, after root you may easily debloat the firmaware.
3. Usage.
I'd suggest you install apps that take as much low space as possible, because the internal memory is horrifying. Also, try not to 'try' any hardcore things like an HD video or a big game. Although few work flawlessly, others make the whole device slow or crash it. Don't try to install too many scripts. Install few, few that you like. Although I didnt find a proper Apps2SD script/application. Link2SD was better.
PS. These are the apps I used, when I had this phone (2-3 months back)
1. The custom ROM I mentioned. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mini/general/cm11-delicious-mountains-t2850619
2. Cubed (^3) for music player. An app below a megabyte and yet, very very effective.
3. Windows Phone 7 keyboard. (~4 MB in size. 2 themes, customizable size of keys)
4. Link2SD. Helps in reducing internal memory usage, in deleting internal apps.
5. 2048. A small game (~6 MB). Found (find ) it really interesting.
6. ES File Explorer. You will want to keep it
I hope this helped a bit. Having a smaller device doesn't mean the fun ends.
You should use custom roms.
Also don't use the stock browser. It's laggy and slow to load.

Hello! I've found the best custom rom + kernel for my needs and I wanted to share with you guys.
In my opinion the smoothest, good battery backup (8-9 hours sot) and performance combo is Pixel Experience + and Predator kernel. To make all of your apps work properly enable force fulllscreen mode for any of them . Now let me share with you guys some battery tweaks:
1. Install Naptime and make sure that these options are enable:

2. Restrict any app in the background that you don't need to work in the background, like these apps:

3. Disable unused default apps like these:
https://imgur.com/a/PAqMJpr
and disable Google Assistant if you don't use it ( if you disabled Google app you will not found Search, Assistant and voice in the settings ): Settings - Google - Account services - Search, assistant and voice - Google Assistant - Assistant - General - Disable Google Assistant. Also disable location/ Find My Device, automatically data sync for apps.
4. Disable automatically backup for Google Photos.
Here are some apps which I use it and it will make your life easier:
- Youtube and Youtube Music without ads ( no need to root ): https://vancedapp.com/
- Magisk, needs to be flashed in custom recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vzf3re143yb68uc/Magisk-v21.1.zip/file
- Google Camera. You will need to install "Remove Google Camera" module in Magisk first if you have it already installed in your rom, the link for this module is this one: http://www.mediafire.com/file/bhm6dhrrnqiar2d/RemoveGCam.zip/file
Google Camera ( if you don't have it already installed as default camera, you can install it as any apk file, no need to root ) , this is the download link for it: http://www.mediafire.com/file/eogevstxhlq0yvv/MGC+7.4.201+Parrot043+V1.1.apk/file
- L1 Security patch that will make Netflix stream more than SD: https://www.mediafire.com/file/85mrfht25lzjfjx/DRM_L1_Patch.zip/file
( needs to be installed in Magisk )
- I also changed the default launcher because it's not that customizable, and I found this launcher to be more customizable and well optimized:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/p6uxixksr05w17w/Systemless_ShadyLauncher-v1.5.zip/file
- If you want to have Dolby Atmos install these Magisk modules ( Install in this order ):
1. Audio Modification Library: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wigiq7cxf488frr/1.Audio_Modification_Library-v4.0(55).zip/file
2. Audio Configuration Database:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/hwj1zqs2a695hrz/2.ACDB-0.49.zip/file
3. Restart after you installed the first and the second module.
4. Dolby Atmos:

Always glad to help!
Please Hit Thanks if you love this tutorial It really helps a lot!
I use PE + with stock kernel without any tweaks and I get about 8 hours sot.
Those tweaks just **** up performance and multitasking
So in terms of performance it is worse

Everyone has their own personal opinion. But I don't think that restricting apps to work in the background, Naptime or disable some bloatware can negativity affect the performance. On the contrary, it should improve performance and battery life.

Yeah ofc
Everybody uses their smartphones differently.
I use lot of multitasking.
Before i had miui it was so agresive on killing apps. That's why i switched and i use PE and it's beautiful.
And I tried storm breaker.. little difference in battery Life but it wasn't that smooth and fast as stock kernel.
At least for me

It doesn't have any effect multitasking in any way. The apps still don't refresh after leaving them in the background, the apps remains normal.
Use PE plus +Predator 9.1 very good working.
