[Q] Suggestion for another rom

I've my G1 about 6 months ago with the CyanogenMod-6.1.0-DS Android 2.2.1, and i'm not very happy with the battery life and the multiable crashes that I receive with some of the apps, and the lagging in the transition between programs.
Can someone suggest a better rom? I keep hearing that it's best to stick with Android 1.6. Is this true?
I'm not much into themes, matter of fact the slimmer, the better... I want to save all the resources for my apps, then I do for the look of it.
I just think with the more they throw into these roms the worse it makes the phone. Why do they (rom creators) add more such as apps that don't benfit anyone?
Just give me a plain Jane that will make my phone run more faster.

as stock as it gets... http://www.4shared.com/file/KZ-u5S4e/Generic_G1_Rooted_ROM.html

So I download this rom and rename it to update.zip and move it over to the SDcard and reboot my phone into install mode right?

[Q] COMPLETELY stock android rom

hey guys
so far im loving not being restricted by s-off anymore
i installed mike1986's rom and its great, but theres still too much sense in there for me, i want to try the phone with NO sense whatsoever, is this possible?? (i used no-sense 1.5 to remove as much sense as possible)
basically i want a google nexus s rom, which i will tweak with apps such as go sms etc.
the thing that annoys me is having options that i dont need (eg all the facebook integration in contacts which i wont use, same for gallery) - and so id rather have too few options than too many.
is this something that already exists or is possible? i couldnt find anything over in android development.
thanks

Why not get bloat freezer and freeze out all the crap, if you end up freezing something that causes instability at least you can unfreeze it again (well unless you freeze out something really critical, in which case you will need to revert to a backup).

ill do that, but as well as that i also want the stock gingerbread gallery and contacts apps, for example - as they don't have sense integration.

can anyone advise if theres an obvious reason this hasnt been done?
or if it has can someone point me in the direction of it?
thanks

go port an aosp for it and your done.
reason why it aint done, no tree for the incs has been created which is perfect atm
we are busy with it (heavily testing, attn1 and kali coding like mofo's etc.etc.) for cyanogenmod just wait...

[Q] Using LG Optimus 2X as a PMP need some help...

Hello all very long time lurker but am here now for some help. So a few questions and description of what i wish to achieve.
I have a POS iPod touch 4th gen that I have had 2 and half years or something and really want to replace. Also have an Xperia X10 and shortly will have an LG Optimus 2X. The X10 will function for phone duties until the Xperia TX become available in Australia.
Back the the O2X though. Now turning an android phone into a Portable Media Player (PMP) is something I have been wanting to do for a while now. Naturally though this brings up a few things that will not be needed.
For the music front end I will be using Player Pro and Pics and videos will primarily be held and viewed in QuickPic.
The phone will still need to retain wifi and bluetooth capabilities, however I want to fully disable all other forms of connectivity as I will have no need of it and will not be using a sim in the phone as this will be dedicated to music, movies and pics. So does anyone know the best way gor me to go about that?
I will also have a hell of a lot of unused and unwanted apps. I would love to be able to really strip the phone back and free up as much space as possible. Now in the past I have been able to uninstall pre-installed apps from my X10. I am just unsure how to go about it on the O2X. Does anyone know how I would go about completely removing the phone, contacts, calander, stock music, stock gallery and other assorted apps?
I would also need to be using a kernel with the voodoo sound mods for the wolfson DAC. Now I was wondering if there was any recommendations there?
Finally I would also like a recommendation of the most stable ICS based ROM to go with the voodoo kernel. I would like the ROM to also include a modifiable set of notification bar widgets so I can easily turn on and of things like wifi, bluetooth, gps, airaplane mode and adjust brightness. Anyone know of anything that would fit the bill?
Must also come with a working camera app (does not need to has video recording working or panorama just basic camera duties please). Any other suggestions that you may think of feel free to post them.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and hope some of you can help me out here on my project to make an Android PMP out of a great little Android Phone.

Note to mods: hope I am posting in the right section, feel free to move it if I am not.

Since connectivity is already built in into the android OS, you can't disable it, but I think keeping your phone in airplane mode all the time should do the trick. Anyway, taking out the sim card already disables all connectivity that involves telecommunications.
If you want to remove system apps, you have to root your phone first. The forum already has so many guides on rooting. Then all you have to do is use any root file manager, go into system/app and delete the apps there. Not everything can be deleted though, some are crucial for the functioning of the phone.
The other way is to download a rom, open the zip and delete everything you don't need that's under system/app and install it. No guarantees that your phone will boot up though, if you happen to hit an app that is crucial for the rom to work. Then you can flash the rom and it's done.
There are many kernels that use voodoo, just find one that fits any rom of your choice.
Finally: ICS roms still have some bugs, seeing that you are going to use it as a PMP, I recommend not upgrading to ICS or later until roms made from LG's sources start popping out. I hear that CM10 (that runs on jellybean) will be released shortly after LG releases their ICS update.
Almost all roms have a camera app, no worries there!
TL;DR Install any rom you'd like that seems to fit the bill. Root your phone, open the particular rom's zip file and remove apps you don't need that are in system/app, flash it to your phone (with recovery mode of course). Flash kernel to your liking.

Looks like LG is no better than Sony when it comes to OS Updates haha
shall look at stock based Rome for now then. Try and find a JB skinned one if possible.
Then play trial and error with what apps I can remove before flashing and which I have to leave and possibly just freeze. New it was something simple but its been a while. I hope I can remove all the basic apps that make it function like a phone otherwise I guess I will make do with freezing and hiding them. Love removing all clutter possible.
Will be waiting to see if CM10 can come along much less buggy than all the CM9 and ICS ROMs that I have looked at. Silly LG hampering the development of ROMs because there isn't an official ICS update to work off and its late 2012 already. Hoping for some good news though with what I have read about SK and them getting ICS.

[Q] Can I replace the ENTIRE Touchwiz gui, and it's apps?

Hello,
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (GT-i8190). I love that phone's size, the 4" screen and the cpu&ram&storage spaces are enough for me.
But (!)
I hate touchwiz. It's lagging, it's have some ugly icons, functions, and GUI elements. I love the HTC's Sense gui, and the android 4.2's stock gui is clean, logical, and pretty too. I tried to use some of launchers but using a launcher is not a solution, because these launchers uses more of RAM (and the Samsung apps are running in the background). I'd like to use a SGS3 Mini with original android OS without any idiot samsung apps.
Is there a solution for that? What about CyanogenMod? I know they have an alpha5 version, but if I install that rom, I won't be able to use my phone as a phone...
Thanks,
Richard

If you are rooted, you can remove Samsung Apps with Titanium Backup or some other app altogether with Touch Wiz launcher and install whatever launcher (Holo, Go, etc) you like.
Today the first usable version of CyanogenMod was released by macław at www.maclaw.pl, give it a try if bugs don't scare you.

Aside TB and freezing bloatware as already suggested, Root is a must, then do some read and eventually deodex and install enox theme, install Nova prime or any other good launcher and choose icon theme of your choice. No memory hogging etc and all the same you can have great looking and performing interface...

[Q] Lost with bloated apps, I want to get ride of them

Hi all,
This is my first android phone, an HTC One M7_UL, and if I found it to be a wonderful piece of hardware, I am very disapointed by all the bloated apps that comme with it. I preicse I am an old GNU/Linux user, currently on gentoo from several years.
For now, I have a few issues I want to solve:
1) I can copy music files from my PC to the phone and listen to them. I found how to make playlists into the phone. Is it another way to add pictures to the playlists, albums and artists than the original apps?
2) The radio work well, when using another earphone than the original one. How can I make a manual search and have it memorized? Do I nedd another app or to root the device for that to be possible?
,
3) I hate the impossibility to customize the first screen. I found a way to disable that news stuff, but I really want to get ride of it. I guess the only way to do it is to root the device. Am I right, and if yes can I use any ROM for that?
EDIT: I see the last Sense update made it possible. Nice.
4) If I root my device, what is most important to me is to remove the bloated apps, get a file hierarchy that is more friendly to browse (as example I hate to get playlist files with a size of 0), I like the camera, it is truly amazing, especialy with fast moving targets, and I want to keep that capability. I also want playlist which are easier to customize, and a FM radio where I can put permanent favorites whih will not be erased by an automatic search.
Based on that, can you recommande me some ROMs? Or is it possible to do the same without to root the phone (I doubt, but as it's my first android phone, I want to be 100% sure).
I like Sense, but that's just a GUI and not so important to me. Generally, I preffer featues and flexibility over the look and the bloat.
Thanks for any suggestion.
