You wont lock the device with flashing the ROM. Close to stock ROM would be Badboys ROM.
Reminder - you asked this question in a wrong thread. It should go into Q&A section.
If you're using this for CDMA, I'd recommend the MIUI ROM. Despite being an iOS lookalike, that is the only ROM that will show you the signals separately for 1x and EVDO.

I rooted stock 5.0.2 and used Titanium Backup to remove everything stock that I don't have any use for. Messaging (use Hangouts) BlinkFeed (replaced with SLauncher) Music (replaced with CM 12 Music/added Viper4Android) Live Wallpapers (who even uses these things?!)...literally everything that has an icon in the app drawer gone. Exceptions are calculator, camera , calender, clock, downloads and gallery. Everything else I have a preferred replacement.
If you want even LESS to worry about, you can't go wrong with stock Cyanogenmod + Pico Gapps. No bogus/worthless features, no bloat, 4g connectivity, and best of all SUPER lightweight. The Nike of roms...just do it!

I just upgraded my phone to 2.3.4 with the custom rom "simply Honey" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020720
the installation went smoothly without any hassles and i successfully flashed my device using odin, however, i am not able to access any UI modification features or themes. I even installed the Tw4(modded) version from the addon list through CWM Recovery mod and when i reboot there is no trace of tw4, the phone acts as it was before. There seems to be no tw4 in the home switcher app too. Can someone help me ? one of the reasons for me to use a custom rom was that i could mess around with the fact how the phone looks.
Yaar i think that rom didnt give you modification right so thats why you are avlw to change launcher.

Hi Gang,
Some of you may remember me from something I had done to the HTC Desire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755339
May it rest in peace...
I got this Foxconn device, called Wellcom A99, nowadays and thought I give it a ramp up . As previously, I'm pretty much a minimalist guy to squeeze the max out of my toys when and wherever I can. Here you go
This is a scaled down stock ROM, in terms of apps and memory hogging services. It took quite a while to go through testing and I assume I could get rid of all the bloat, still not compromising functionality. A number of apps are updated to the latest current versions as well.
The ROM does not touch anything kernel, governors etc.. I've been playing a bit with MIUI and CM7 and was somewhat disappointed particularly about battery lifetime. This MacLite should run lite, and smooth, with best in class performance. I will still look further into improvements, but I'm not jumping onto the overclock bandwagon. It's based on the latest (I think) Gingerbread 2.3.4 available from Wellcom for the FIH phone which you can grab in it's full beauty from here: http://www.wellcommobile.com/android1/.
This thing is FAST and without compromise. Everything works! It went through numerous versions and rounds of feedback, thanks for that. The latest and final version MacLite-FB0 v1.3, based on the last Wellcom firmware, adds, updates and fixes a number of things that should make it even more useful.
Thank you all for your input and feedback!
Changelog (v1.3)
- Last version based on Wellcom ROM
- Application Updates:
File Browser 2.0100.01
Note Pad 2.0040.02
Google Search 1.3.3.247963
Zeam Launcher 3.1.10
- 200MB+ free memory (thought I mention that finally hehe)
- This is the final release of MacLite-FB0 v1.x
Changelog (v1.3s)
- Further reduced Smaller v1.3 without Gmail and Email (useful if you use 3rd party Email applications and don't want to have those running useless in the background)
Changelog (v1.2)
- Removed Google Maps and Streetview, the latest update v6 appears to be somewhat of a memory and battery hog/zombie that comes to life all the time again, unkillable . You now have the option to flash a separate Maps/Street package v5 or v6
- Fixed a number of app signatures that prevented automatic updates
- As requested, added more languages (new locales for DE, ES, FR, NL, IT, PT, RU)
- If you use TouchPal Keyboard you can download the additional language libraries for free from the Market, I did not include these as not everybody needs all of them
Changelog (v1.2s)
- Further reduced Smaller v1.2 without Gmail and Email (useful if you use 3rd party Email applications and don't want to have those running useless in the background)
Changelog (v1.1)
- Added Email application back
- Update of Google Maps, Zeam, Youtube, Google Mail
- Ringtones and notification sounds are stored after reboot
- Additional languages are added (now English, Chinese, Indonesian, Malay, Thai, Vietnamese)
- CDA partition access now possible during update
- Modification of a number of apps and settings stored in CDA
- New boot animation
- A number of changes under the hood
To get MacLite-FB0 installed, I would recommend to get CWM Recovery installed first and flash the zip through it. You guys know how this works. Please do a factory reset. There are also a number of modifications possible to the boot screen and animation. Please check out the hidden partition (press volume up and power button to get into these, works best with Linux that automounts)
The ROM is odexed for performance reasons. I don't buy the argument of having deodexed ROMs for modifications, it's detrimental for speed and memory usage in my opinion.
It features Zeam launcher for being the fastest and smallest around, please feel free to install any other of your choice . Wallpapers are not included, they are part of the official Launcher2 package which I killed, but any pics will work.
Please feed back on any old or new bugs found .
Enough said, check out for yourself
Download (links fixed, 03/09):
MacLite-FB0 v1.3
MacLite-FB0 v1.3s
I consider version 1.3 based on the Wellcom firmware final. We saw already a new Android 2.3.5 from Sharp popping up, mixed with Motorola code as it seems. Eventually this will be the foundation for a version 2 of MacLite.
Cheers!

That is the CDMA phones? No, it wont work. Don't even try. Different radio.
Was just searching, if this uses HSPA as it seems it should work. No need to install the Wellcom ROM first.

hi
got slightly confused im from India and i have tried the WelcomeA99 rom and have flashed many roms via CWM over the Indian stock rom This will also work the same way right
Yes, just use the normal flash. Did not want to confuse people. It will work . It's just that the official ROM has some additional data and partitions that are normally not visible.
thanks for the rom.. it is really lite... just installed ... I think I would flash one of the Doomkernel / UC kernel... battery drain seems to be reduced...
not getting service provider's name. instead getting some number. how to fix that?
Guys, do we really have to update to the wellcom rom first? I'm on miui 1.11.11. Also have a back up of andro-id rc2 on my sd. thanks

Hi,
I flashed this ROM recently and its blazing fast. Thanks for the effor OP.
But what I find missing is the "Email" app. I need this on a day to day basis as my official mail uses Microsoft Exchange server. Can you provide the apk file if possible for our phone so that I can install it?

Helloo...im using your great rom for few days.Its quite good...but kinda slow for me with stock kernel(i know that i can flash other kernels) Can you add strong accord kernel ?

Sorry for bad Eng.

It is possible that the ROM provides customization options within the system and not at the time of the install mode similar CM10 that are based on?
For example: clock in the center or on the side, various styles of lockscreen, clock + date style, style icons and battery etc..
Another thing would be, you can deploy LED notifications?
Sorry my English.

Customization options within system requires a lot xml file modifications. This will take some time. For notification, have you tried LG Touch LED Notification app? Its free on play store.
I've got a question about choosing apps, can i add my apps before install/flash rom? i mean, can i add my luncher, keyboard, im using holo luncher and swift key (both are bought) and it will be nice to have only them without others lunchers/keyboard.

No that works not. Generally speaking you need something first to change it.

I just installed this rom since about a week, had some battery drain problems. I switched to the interactive governor and this got a bit better. One big drain is wifi, for this i installed an app which disconnects wifi when screen goes off and on again when i wake my phone. Another problem is that the phone is constantly awake and never goes into deep sleep. Any solution for that?
hi ppl, here is my review, i change to hellmanor kernel. first impression that its running good, i need a lot of battery and when i set to lionheart and cfq. i manage to have a working phone over 24 hrs with low usage, around 8 short calls, about 2 hrs of wifi, no data 2/3g at all, and around 1 hr of gaming. and few minutes ago i put to recharge, battery left b4 charge - 44%
the funny thing is that i notice that my phone start to ring very late while incoming calls, i use vibrate with sound, while a call is incoming, the phone vibrate around 5 sec b4 the sound kicks in, this wasn't happening with stock kernel.
do u think that it might be the governor i chose or maybe I/O ? maybe the low cpu speed when phone in deep sleep?
thanks

Lockscreen
Hi Tantrums,
first thanks for you work.Greate job I have several questions. Is it possible turn off the locksreen rotation? I hate it If i get the sms or miss call, the notification bar show me. But if i turn off this in notification, sms still like unread. I want accept it from notification, not go to the sms or dialer and tap to miss call or sms. Last is GPS. After lock the satelites, gps work normal. But if i want use it for running, walking and others, gps is not realy correct. Sport tracker show me bad way, distance and speed. I guess gps use only few satellites. Do you can change this for next version? Please! Because you ROM is awesome.
Thanks you.
I wonder how I install CWM recovery without flashing the regular v20s via SFT? I tried not to install this custom CMW ('ve had problems with it to restore roms at other times) but could not.
I await your help.
Hello!
I have not been able to sort out the issue of date & time sync with my network provider, I have to do it manually & I have to go through all the pain every time I reboot my phone.
Also, is there any app to control the extensive battery drain?

from the Play Store, download and install "No-frills CPU Control". Open the program and set the governor to either "performance" or "interactive". Set the scheduler to "cfq". That should help with the battery. (it should actually double it).
Not sure about the time sync. Someone else was manually having to do it too.
Have you performed a factory reset via settings or the hidden menu?

Did you flash v30 baseband? Coz for me it solved the problem with auto time/date sync.

I used the base band from Huexxx when I updated from GB to ICS:
http://huexxxtuff.blogspot.com.es/2013/01/izs-rom-links.html
You should be able to change the base band even after you install a ROM image.
Hi, I'd like to try this ROM but I just have a few quick questions as I couldn't find a clear answer reading through all the posts in this thread and the dev. thread...
Is flashing the baseband absolutely essential to run this ROM? I currently have V20j as I'm in Canada on the Koodo (Telus) provider. I noticed the basebands (versions V30x) are for Europe and Germany etc. Would this not cause an issue as I'm in Canada? Would the language still be in English?
Also there are several baseband versions, I'm not sure which one I should use. Can anyone help me understand which one I should use (if any)?
Does this ROM contain it's one gapps version as well as it's own Kernel? (I'm currently using kernel 3.0.8)
I'm currently running Mackay 2.7.6 (JB 4.2.2) so I'm assuming just a factory/data wipe, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache, and install the zips from SD, correct?
Can someone confirm the bluetooth works with this ROM (audio works) as well as camera works completely?
Thanks in advance.
I will try with the v30 baseband.

No it's not essential. I don't know if it's better to stay with your baseband or flash the european open. I would first stay with the one you have and than after a few days try the v30 one, if v30 works well it's probably better. You know that some contries in europe speek English too? (Like England.)

Your getting something complettly wrong here, this is not CM9 based it's based on the oficiall LG v30b, so Gapps are not needed (you could say there already included, but it's more like there not removed). Marvel11 comes with aroma installer and includs 3 different kernels. Mackay is CM10.1 based, so everything is different, the kernel for sure.

Camera works, GPS didn't for me (europe) but it might for you, bluetooth I hardly ever use so I can't garantie but it works on other v30 based ROMs so I don't see why not. (As said it's not CM9 based.)
Don't make a fuss just try it, it should work. If it doesn't you probably made something wrong, than come back explain what you did and probably a few ppl can help you.
do we need to flash v30 baseband separately? doesn't it gets flashed along with the ROM?
Hi there,
i have a few questions reg. this tablet, it's been a while since I fiddled around with Android & XDA, used to flash ROMs daily but things changed
So...i noticed since the last time i used Playstore that every single free app is full of ads, popups, sometimes even fullscreen ones...bleah. No more adblockers on the market, only browsers or for non-rooted devices use an adblock local proxy to filter out ads.
- Is there a custom ROM that is "ad-free", meaning ads are filtered out (both in apps and when browsing)?
- I have a Mac..how can i root the tablet and install a custom ROM? (Odin, etc...for Mac?)
- Which one do you recommend, except Cyanogenmod? Guess the most active ROM thread is the answer right?
- Currently running 5.0.2, any risk to use a 5.1.1 based ROM?
- Tablet was bought from O2 (UK) and eventually officially unlocked by them via code. I use another SIM with no issues. Which ROM version do you recommend to replace this O2 ROM with a generic "European" version, not carrier specific?
Many thanks!
LE - haha, just noticed my "iOS7" logo....was just released when i last surfed the awesome XDA community )))
huh, no T815 custom ROMs? "only" root & recovery?
or am i not seeing something....?
nevermind.
i installed 6.0.1 via Odin tonight and it's so much snappier than 5.0.2, feels cleaner.

Hi all...
I was bored with my self, so I thought it would be a good idea to try some different roms for our awesome little phone. All was ok, until I've installed HUAWEI_Sophia-L10C900B839. The rom came missing a keyboard (easily fixed), and missing some other features which the latest official rom (852 I do believe), and it doesn't have the option to turn on 4G (my network supports it, and I've used it before). No 4G is a no go for me, so I want to install the normal EU rom. But I am missing the update app, so I can not install a local update. Any suggestions on how I can fix this???
