Lightest weight Manilla2D Rom?

I've tried Josh's V15 Manilla2D Rom, and while I love it, it leaves very little room for extra storage and programs.
What's the consensus about other Manilla2D roms out there? Which have the smallest footprint?

influx of noobs again!!
TAI_SW does a awesome light manilla2d rom, and i'm testing one in my testing link in my sig.

Are you talking about the M2D_Light_Test.7z file or the V15_Ultra_light_Test_21109.7z file?
How stable is the version you are talking about?

M2D_Light_Test.7z is the manilla2d test, and it's stable as hell man!
edit: oh and just so you know, a suggestion is, if you have a question per say on a certain rom, try posting on that thread instead of opening new threads..

I love it!
Lots of memory, I can install what I want, and comes prebuilt with Manilla2D.
There are however some problems with it... which is why I guess, it's not a released version.

Does the m2d interface work fully for you?
I can't add any contacts to the People widget, the weather widget won't let me add a location, the program launches won't let me add programs to it...

[REQUEST] New HTC ALBUM C-A-B..??

I wonder if anyone can help and provide a cab for the new htc album (with iphone like picture switching-plus its waaaay faster than the default old one..)
I want to use it with some roms that dont include it!! (old manila..!!)
Many many people that still on stock roms would also find this very helpful!!
Sorry if i am wrong for opening a new thread here..!
Thanks in advance..

anyone..??

impatient, aren't we?

True..
But i flash a new rom every two days..!!! its gone out of control..i had my hd doing everything right but not being what it is..a phone!! (tons of problems answering calls with s2u2 caller id over new rodium dialer-which sucks-same s*** with resco contact manager which freezes every now and then in the newer builds..etc etc!!)
So i said i'll stick a while with a stock rom or 6.5..(6.5 after trying is out of the question..even with the 202 build..)
I found davideuck v7 and thought ok..give it a shot! And its amazing ..! AND RELIABLE!.. but with the "default" album..! which sucked from day 1 .. When you try the new one though you JUST CANT go back! So i wanted to know if its possible to have it VIA CAB!! Reflashing is not always a good thing to do cause for me its like 5 hours or so..(all apps from scrath etc..)
SO PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP...!! stock rom people would also love this!!

Here you go...
I hope that I am not breaking any forum rules by posting this. It was included to older dutty roms. I think it is not the latest version but you have this real time slide feature already.
Have fun!

Thank you very much! Will try and report back!

too bad! didnt work.. i am currently using davideucks v7..
i didnt do something special (such as disable tf3d first or something..)
installed ok, soft reset. i can see pics but when i am trying to scroll..it freezes

Same happens on my device. Using Davideuck 6.5 V6.

I think the fact that its Duttys own cab for his roms means its most likely not going to work on any other roms but his!

After a lot of search i found many builds of the 3xx version of the album!!!BUT ALL PORTED FOR DIAMOND .. (vga) No one has the original wvga one ???
(if it can be found as cab could also be used in davideucks 6.5 v6.. dave said he will cook a build with it in the rom but a cab would be nicer for all!)

If anyone can tell me what this "new album" is I could make a cab. Right now I'm using a self-cooked ROM with Album version 3_0_19131221_0, and seriously think about recooking the ROM to include the stock Blackstone one.
What's so revolutionary about it?

Its fast..!! The new album is the version you are using, with the iphone style and smootheness changing between pictures.. Its from rhodium as far as i know..

Whether it's fast or slow depends on a lot of things apparently, it's very slow in this ROM and was fast in my previous one.
It works the same way as the old one in terms of transition between pictures anyway. And on the downside it doesn't rotate pictures.

So we are not talking about the same album! You would have seen so much difference that you could never go back to an older version! even with the limitation in zoom levels!
Back to start i suppose..

I think we are talking about the same Album. It was very fast in my previous ROM.
I can easily go back to anything though. I just don't care about viewing pictures too much. And even less so about whether it's like the Jesus Phone or not.

Can someone then port it from duttys 2.6 for example, so it can be usable with every rom..?? or at least of the same build?

New CAB sucks! I want the original! Where can I get the original! I love the circle to zoom that would zoom an image of a photo that was almost too small to see on the phone so close and in crystal clarity! This new album SUCKS! 1 level of zoom and it's damn grainy! Way grainy! Not crystal clear at all.

+1 with Molitar, I prefer the old one. On Blackstone we do not have hardware zoombar.

I found an $8 software called Kai's Deinstaller.. it actually worked after the update from the 1D. I ran it and back to the older album

Any progress on this? I could do with an up-to-date album on the rom I use...

Magic/ION/Google ROM on the Hero!

Hi Guys!
I have been searching for days if someone has managed to install a clean google rom on his HTC Hero. I can only find people running rooted Hero Roms.
The point is, i want to get rid of all the HTC Apps. I've managed to delete a lot of the stock applications, and it improved the speed a lot!
If i install any other "Magic based rom" the phone will hang on the HTC boot screen.
If i push original google apps like "contacts.apk/.odex" to the phone, they won't run.
Can someone port the original Magic/ION rom to the Hero please? I know a lot of people want to run a "clean android" rom on the hero.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My phone is rooted now with Modaco / CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF.

I cannot see the point why someone would want that . No offense , i mean all the HTC customisation and Rosie was the whole point in buying this device instead of the HTC Magic( which has the exact same specifications and a way lot cheaper)

To be honest, i don't really know why i bought the hero. I didn't know much about android at the time i bought one. Now i know better, but anyway, that's not what i want to discuss..
The magic can almost run any rom, why can't the hero run any rom i want?

Please people, i don't want to be a jerk, but don't come up with questions like "Why did you buy a hero then?" ..

I'm on the same boat. When I bought my hero I hadn't really seen any working Android phone, either stock or HTC. Now that I have seen both I think that the stock apps and interface are somehow saner than HTC's, and what can I say? I'd prefer to use them.

Why don't you run the Rosie remover. It will get you part of the way to where you want to go

Indeed! but I also prefer the stock browser, the stock music player, the stock calendar, the stock contact list and dialer... and so on. They look less flashy but handier to my taste.

I totally agree with, frandavid100. I would also love to have a vanilla android rom on my Hero.

Actually, why do magic roms not work with the hero? What kind of modification would you have to do for them to work?

I think that the hero rom is not like the win rom. i mean all the htc customisations superimposed on the windows ones. There, all we had to do was just to remove the htc ones and we automatically got the windows ones.
I guess android's different. we have to remove all the htc customisations and add android's ones. Problem is hero never had the android's applications. what could be done is take a magic rom, remove all the applications and try to port them to the hero.
Problems would definetely arise cause the 2 phones are not 100% identical. some software work on the magic but not on hero bla bla bla.

I know some stock apps do work with the hero. I have been able to use the stock calendar and browser in my hero by replacing the apk and odex files, however replacing the contacts app makes it hang.
We could try to make a list of what apps can be replaced and how, or maybe even make update.zip files specific for that, similar to modaco's rosie remover. How difficult would that be?

I think that you'll probably find that the difference here is that chefs with a Magic or G1 actively want to "upgrade" to the latest and greatest ROMs. So, when presented with a Hero ROM, they will make the effort to back port it to the hardware they have.
The situation with the Hero is a little different. Here we already have the "latest and greatest", so there is probably very little motivation for a chef to port what is essentially an earlier ROM to the Hero. What you need to find is a chef who has a Hero, who either wants to run stock android, or is interesting in the intellectual challenge!
So, it's not really the case that "the magic can almost run any rom" - it's that their are chefs with Magics who are building these ROMs.
Regards,
Dave

Thanks guys!
I knew i wasn't the only one who wanted a clean vanilla android rom on the hero. Like frandavid100 said before, till there's another "magic rom" or something, we could make a list of apps working on hero.
I've had the same thing with the Contacts.app. This makes the phone freeze, and after removing the battery it constantly reboots.
If we all together manage to make a list of apps, i can create an update.zip which does all the work.

Let's do a test. I know you can replace HTC's browser with Android's. I'm attaching the files for both, can you create an update.zip that removes the HTC files from /system/apps, and pushes the stock ones?
EDIT: failed to upload the files to the forum. You can get them here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TVL3Y8UE

I will do that tomorrow ok? I live in The Netherlands and its 09.35pm and i'm watching a movie
BTW: I also have a stock Magic/ION image. I can extract the apps from there as well. Tomorrow i'll try some apps.
Thanks for the effort guys!

Just another quick post. Below you'll see a list of apps which i'm going to try tomorrow. Please post request apps if i forget one.
- Contacts (probably doesn't work)
- Phone (unknown - probably same as contacts)
- Browser (probably works)
- Music Player (probably works)
- Messages/sms?
- Camera (unknown)
- Albums (probably no multitouch)
- Camcorder (don't know if this one is available)
- Calender (probably works)
- Calculator (unknown)
- Clock (don't know if this one is available)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW; If you guys want the original android lockscreen, just remove HtcLockScreen.apk/odex. After reboot you'll have the original android lockscreen where you have to press "menu" to unlock. Works faster and ofcourse no lag!

Hey, if you come back during the ads... can you point me to that stock rom? I'd like to try some of those too.
I can advance that Browser and Calendar do work (I'm using them right now).

I am sorry.. i'm at my girlfriend and don't have my laptop with me tomorrow i'll post some links to different roms we can work with. But i can assure you they won't work on the hero.
Im also going to try to port the sapphire keyboard to the hero. Don't know if someone already did this, i haven't used google yet.

Actually, the keyboard is one of the few things I like from HTC's customisations I'll give the sapphire one a try tho!

Black Theme Sense 2.5

I've been looking high and low and can not find a black theme for Sense 2.5. I have the leaked AT&T stock rom and don't want to try a custom rom just yet. can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks

Look around as theres a cab file to make the icons black and white which is what Im using.

This one looks right up your alley:

I haven't tried it myself, so I can't give an opinion.
On the topic of flashing a custom ROM: Its not difficult, and really not scary as long as you read all the guides BEFORE you start, and follow the directions carefully. It seems a little intimidating at first. But once you do it, your response will likely be "Wow, that was easy!"

Thanks everyone I'm goingto try the Dusk Evo theme. There is a dailer too that looks sweet so again thanks.

Have you managed to install it? I haven't, I'm on the same att leaked rom. CHT works fine though.

OK, I have installed this theme (Dusk EVO) on one of my devices that is running this leaked stock rom. Do not install it if you have CHT installed, it will disable your CHT and it will not run properly if there are other visual mods already installed. I did a hard reset on my device and then installed this theme, the dialer and the task bar icons and it is now running pretty sweet. I am afraid to install CHT even though I want/need it for daily use. Also, since this theme must be installed to device memory, you are going to lose a lot of space on the device. After installing the three mods mentioned above I only had 36 MB left open on the device itself for installing programs.
I am now going to install crud scraper and see what I can free up before going any further. There may be another hard reset in the very near future. I think this theme was orriginally designed for the Leo which has much more storage space that the Rhodium.
Will report back after Crud Scraper does it's magic and let y'all know how much it frees up.

Loaded both no problem so far. looks nice.

OK, got the theme all loaded, latest CHT and Duttys Task Manager installed, cleaned all bloatware with crudscraper and now I have roughly 65MB device storage free. Not as much as I would like, but since almost everything else I use will be installed to storage card, I should be fine.
There does seem to be a few glitches such as, the battery indicator in the task bar disappears randomly and will not come back, task bar itself becomes unuseable from time to time, tapping the stylus on it will only make a "ding" noise and not bring up notifications or the Windows start menu. Sometimes it can be fixed by a soft reset or restarting Sense, other times not. It just seems to have a mind of it's own and it will only function when and if it wants to.
Also, if I try to change the wallpaper it will not let me. Not even to any stock wallpapers that shipped in the rom. I'll most likely be doing that hard rest in the morning and just use the latest CHT with that, along with a few custom graphics tweaks that I have done myself.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, I tried all of the lockscreen options available and none of them work. I seem to have no lockscreen at all now, but did before installing CHT. This seems to be directly related to the task bar screwing up, since it is usually after trying to lock the device that the problem presents itself.
I hope that anyone else that has installed this theme, CHT on the new rom, have had a better experience than I have. It looked good, even without wallpaper, but I'll take performance over looks if I have to make that decision.

AyyNaz...will be back soon...

ROM temporarily taken down....
Reason: To improvise and make a full release at a later time..
Thankx

Cyne3yte release screenshots will come here...ROM coming soon...

I like your rom - but too bad that you use old TF3D version 1 which doesn't have calendar tab and 5 day weather

How about free RAM on boot?
Though, the lack of Calendar tab keeps me back from choosing again a TF3D rom..
Still, great work it looks great!

Free RAM on boot is 49mb.
Like i said this is an old is gold related ROM. But even though i said i would not add or remove apps, i still take your suggestions clearly
When i get my vacation arnd december, i will see about integrating Sense 2.1 and 2.5
Thankx for your replies.

rather than sense 2.1 i will suggest you to take a look into TF3D 2.1
the only difference in sense 2.1 and TF3D 2.1 is that sense 2.1 has weather in home tab
something which is not really important if you can have a faster phone with more free RAM

I was not aware of that detail about TF3D 2.1!
Sure, the weather in the home tab is useless and it's animations are annoying.
I can't really recall seeing a TF3D 2.1 Rom though..
