Why spend the time removing the crapware and applying fixes when its already done for you.



This is nothing special. It doesn’t have a fancy name like SkyFroyo, Refrozen, or whatever. The build.prop doesn’t say by “insert name”.
This is just a rom I use for myself that I thought others may, or may not, enjoy.

There is not a question as to whether you should wipe before installing, just dooooooo it.

OTA leak must be installed prior to this rom if you want working camera and camcorder.


Changes from stock leaked Froyo version 2:

Market fixed!

32m vm heap by default.
zipaligned.
deodexed.
Stock messaging app from Cyanogenmod. All credit to Cyanogen and team.
Removed stocks apk, and widget.
Removed footprints.
Removed lame Verizon drivers prompt when connected via USB.
Removed visual voice mail and all icons associated with it (including voicemail icon in app drawer).
Removed backup assistant (do not try to setup from setup wizard!).
Removed 3g hotspot (Included working wifi tether app).
Removed skype.
Removed my Verizon app.
Removed city ID properly.
Removed amazon mp3.
Busybox installed.
Superuser 2.2.2 installed.
Removed flash. Can be reinstalled from Market.

Differences from last tweaked version:
Deodexed
Newer build, nicer keyboard!
Working wifi tethering out of the box (ad-hoc only).
No flash installed (check hulu_install folder on your sd card:D)
Removed trackball wake (wasn't working consistently enough imo)
Removed Droid ringtones and notifications (will add a patch for those who want).

weird issue with the first leak... I couldn't get the droid-life app to install.. with this leak it installs fine... no clue why it wouldn't before...
the nexus live wallpaper was a little choppy before now it seems much smoother...
1 quick question.. is there a system file I can backup via titanium that will setup my UI so I dont have to go through the process every time I flash an updated rom ? just wondering

edit: nevermind, i cleared the data and it works fine now but its the older version with the reply at the bottom. wierd...
