This is the best VANILLA 2.1 rom around right now. Really, this is brilliant work Robin.

it is good work with launcher2? the nexus launcher? thanks

I don't get it, what differentiates this from the already existing rom's and why would one change when some of your bugs are fixed in many of the other rom's?

I started this work from scratch, with the next release fixes errors already solved in other ROMs.
There are some of my customizations even if you do not see written!

I appreciate what you're doing and well done an all but all i'm saying is that the RoM's on offer should be doing all they can to show what they have done differently to other builds.
Personally I can see little difference between your release and Villain or aHero aside from the bugs which they fixed a while ago. All I'm saying is that to get followers/users you need to offer something new! What is your rom offering that Villain isn't? Why would I want to go through all the hassle of backup & wipe?

Not cool guys.
If I have learned ONE thing from my experience with many, MANY different ROMs over the last few months, it's that each one has it's own uniqueness about it, despite what it may say on the "features" list.
There is ALWAYS room for new ROMs on the scene, and just because it may not be YOUR favourite, doesn't mean someone else won't prefer x over y.
No one is forcing you to backup & wipe. If you're happy with your current ROM, then don't bother. But DON'T come here and question the developer on the necessity of his work!
I'll certainly be trying this ROM out, as I'm yet to find a vanilla 2.1 ROM that I am 100% happy with for day-to-day use. Perhaps this isn't the one, but I'll certainly give it a shot.
Thanks robin04. I hope the negative attitude in this thread doesn't dissuade you from further development.

can't download it plz upload on mediafire

I wasnt beeing negative as i said in 1st post its always nice to see new ROM developers.
All i did was answer the dude question not my fault that he edited it while i was typing.
I do hope he continues to develop his ROM

Thanks for your suggestions

awesome rom thanx for sharing,few issues could we implement the camera fix and vending.apk for the market or could someone point me in the direction of these plz ? also is there any other youtube.apk that we could push to this build because the videos dont play on this rom ?
If we could get these issues fixed this would be the best AOSP rom i have used simply because most live wallpapers actually work !
"green" "didgital rain" "water" "Duck hunt" and a bunch of others from the market actually stay on and dont dissapear with the lock / unlock cycle

I have no idea what negative attitude you're referring to but i think you've got the wrong end of the stick. I'm trying to help him out! I'm not here advertising my rom or any favorite, just asking what differentiates his.
I just think the ROM should probably be labeled correctly. It would be easy for a new user to install this rom when other roms would be better suited. Labelling this ROM a beta would probably be more accurate, until the major kinks are worked out.

The 3gp video record with the camera can play or not? (freeze after first frame)
Thanks

great rom Robin, imho the best AOSP 2.1 avaiable!! thx

Does this rom have root? If so,I can't get it... have flashed many roms but never had this problem. I have wiped data and dalvik. never used a2sd.
Any ideas?
never mind. got it working

How's the battery life?

tun.ko in aosp rom possible?

[ROM] Nebulae v1.1 (WWE Éclair 2.1) :: 04/10/2010

NEBULAE ROOTED ROM BASED ON
OFFICIAL HTC WWE ÉCLAIR 2.1 (RUU)
***ONLY FOR GSM HERO***​
Description:
This ROM is just another ROM like most others out there... Yes, I'm late in the game and it does not have much more than most ROMs but that was not the intention either. It's also not this ROM's intention to compete with any other ROMs. This is just something I did for myself (that's why you can find some unusual features) which I decided to share cause some people might like my simple and basic changes.
My work is based in two other ROMs, MoDaCo from Paul O'Brien and VillainROM from TeamVillain. I respect their work and thank them for their hard work. Some things were literally copied from their ROMs to mine, but I give credit where credit is due; if you find something that you think it was copied, that's because it probably was, but I'm not doing this to take credit for their work.
Features:
Based on Official HTC WWE Éclair 2.1 Update (RUU)
Rooted with Superuser 2.3.6.1 by ChainsDD
Missing locales from the official HTC update
en_PT, en_FI, fr_BE, fr_CH, pt_PT, nb_FI, da_FI, sv_FI
Fully deodexed for theming, hacking and extra space
Added Click'n'Drag to rearrange screens in Rosie/Sense
Long and comprehensive list of updated APNs
Added Dropbear support (SSH Server)
Added support for dalvik2cache script
Tweaked low memory management
Disabled boot animation sound
Included Linux tools:
BusyBox v1.15.3
SQLite v3.5.9
Bash v4.1
Nano v2.0.9
Included applications:
3D Gallery v1.1.30682 (Froyo port)
Removed applications:
HTC Footprints
HTC Stocks
Teeter
How to install:
Wipe everything:
Data
Dalvik-cache
Battery Stats
Rotate Settings
Flash ROM via recovery mode.
Flash Radio via recovery mode (the phone will reboot twice, do not interrupt the process at any moment).
Reboot the system once after the initial boot.
I suggest to always reinstall the radio after flashing any ROM, I've had GPS problems in the past for not doing so. Either flash the one below or the one that suits you/your network better.

It's somewhat impossible to thank every single person that contributes to the Android ROM development community. Kudos to everyone that does an amazing work and decides to share it with us.

Credits to TeamVillain for the huge APNs list, Bash, low memory management tweak and dalvik2cache script.
That's all I can remember at the moment, sorry if I forgot something or someone important.

Patch for Nebulae ROM v0.1
NEBULAE ROM PATCH​
***ONLY FOR GENERIC/DEODEX ROMS***
Description:
There were a couple of things I wanted to include in my ROM above but couldn't because of software limitations (more specifically, signatures). This patch allows that and you also have the choice to flash it or not.
This patch can probably be used on another ROMs (for the HTC Hero of course) if you like but I will not provide any support there. Just make sure the ROM is deodex or it will probably lead to unexpected results.
Features:
Removed shortcuts from Launcher:
Call History
Learn More
Phone
Search People
Settings
Setup Wizard
Removed vibration from the Calculator and Dialer apps
Fixed graphical glitches and unreadable colors in a tabbed interface
Example of original interface: image
Example of fixed interface: image
How to install:
Just flash the patch zip file like any other ROM.

nice rom, gj

your dates are ahead by a month, might want to check that

Very well documented. Nice work.
Might be a good idea to add the date to the title for reference.

Done... Although I don't expect to update this ROM much as I took my time to cook exactly as I wanted and testing it thoroughly. But mistakes happen all the time and you never know what more stupid bugs HTC left for us to fix.
Thank you all.

Great post and nice patch,cleans almost everything we really dont need or have in other places.
Too bad for me it doesnt have footprints as i use it a lot,but you cant satisfy everyone and as you said it was build for your needs.
Welcome aboard,hope to see more work from you.

You can easily push it back (along with the widget) to the phone if you want. Of course, only if you really find this ROM more useful than the one you're currently using, otherwise don't bother

Nazgulled,
Could you please upload the freshly new Google Maps 4.4 only? I'd like to update mine to 4.4 but it seems certain apps are missing from Market for me right now, including Shazam, LauncherPro and etc.
Please?
Nevermind, the direct download is here: http://db.tt/0Mtbc3

Finally an Official WWE rom with locales fixed! Was waiting for a en_PT option for a long time without keyboard installations and tweaks!
Will try it!
Many thanks!

I have 63.18.55.06PH_6.35.15.14 radio version.
Does 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11 suites better for our country?

PH? Where did that one come from? I'm not sure that's newer though because PH comes before of PU and radios are normally versioned like that...
I'm not sure, I'm using 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11 as that one came from the official update and haven't tested any others. The only way to tell is to keep using both for a long period of time and take some conclusions...
Found this now:

PH and PU are the same. Some Heros report the radio with an H and others with an U.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, there's "2 new radios" right now and I have them both posted on the front page. The "PH" you're using is basically the one I posted for "orange users", which ends in 14.
Seriously, I don't know which one is better, i'm just using the first one and haven't really tested the other... If you do test both and find out the .14 is better than the .11, let me know

I have seen this .11 radio in Denmark. (use .14 myself, no probs)
On an officiel HTC update.

Think I found it on Villain's place as a new rom.
Think its working well, just don't know about battery because I'm always using the phone and charging it a lot.

Stock android

is it possible for JPA based one? (due to the proper RTL support)

Was about to try the new kernel on yours JPA, but I guess I will download this one instead =)
As always big big thanks, and will report how it goes.
EDIT: Btw, Doc, what do you think of start up tweaks? Good, unnecessary (since it does some rfs speed up, and most here will go for ext everywhere).
Any plans to include it (or you can tell us how to include it).

Great!.. How much is the 'free' RAM on this?

Thanks for answering.

ASOP? Android Source Open Project?
You mean AOSP!

Works like a charm!
Before OCLF, I actually already started downloading your SuperSlim JP6 Doc's Rom, but after.. wow.
Although Quadrant gives 1700, the feel is fantastic, just lightning fast. Keep up the good work and I'll keep using my SGS as a lab rat

Nice Rom
Using this rom (V2), seems very nice. Quadrant is about 1100 with 30 apps installed, Autokiller says 82mb of ram free.
After using for a few hours now still seems very responsive. I will report more tomorrow.
Thanks Doc, yet again..

The main point of this kernal is the awesome lagfix options...are they all working on this ROM doc? What about the "binding issue" that I've read about?

Can we have a list about whatt have been removed?
Is it compatible with afterburn (from multinational v3) to add some component back?

I am liking this rom. Its like I am using vanilla android and not some bloated crappy UI overlay. Had this issue where after installing, did a factory reset made it so after booting up I could not get the main screen to appear - it was always black.
Notification drawer worked and displayed just fine, but the main screen wouldnt load or show anything.
Getting around 1000 quadrant without any sort of lag fix.
Applied oclf and am getting 1818.
Real usage seems extremely responsive however.
Camera looks to be broken though.

Thank you!
Was looking yesterday night at the drain the samsung email app was causing and wondering how to swtich to stock mail and this comes along. Very nice work - i installed it and it got deployed just fine, now turning on lagfix. Will restore everything and let you know how it goes!. Thank you for your work - big fan of it.
PS: lol you sure do hate facebook sync dont you?

Can confirm everything went smooth including the conversion to ext4 (I tried the Advanced option without bind). Initial impression is that its smooth - but have been on it for too little time to find the quirks apart from confirming that camera is in fact FC-ing. Restoring from backup also does not help.
As for lagfix, maybe i will change my opinion on extended use, but for now I dont see a perceptible difference in making them all ext4 in comparison with voodoo. So if the more stable option is voodoo, the payoff seems too little to try the riskier all-ext4 version.
PS: I know its stripped, but no music player by default?!! Come on doc
PPS: only thing i can see missing now is BLN patch, but i guess thats for stuzpy to merge.
Really liking what i see here - very promising!

[Q] [Q} ROM Vs Theme

Hi Guys,
Kinda n00b question:
Whats the difference between a ROM and a Theme? I'm running SimplyHoney 3.8 on my SGS, which I understand is a ROM. I want to apply a new theme, but from the installation guides it looks like its installing a ROM... so:
1. Will installing a theme wipe my apps and configs?
2. Whats the actual difference?
3. Do I need to get a theme to match my ROM?
I'd really appreciate answers, or directions to where should I ask this.
Many thanks,
SoundFX3D

1. Theme will only affect the appearance.
2. Rom is sort of like a package with all the features and tweaks included by the developer(s) which also has its own theme.
3. In the case of SimplyHoney, its has a blue theme. You can choose to flash another theme if you don't like blue. Just make sure its compatible with your rom version.

And no themes almost never wipe data so all your apps will remain.
Also on the subject of Simply Honey if you install a theme that you don't like or doesn't function as expected you can simply re-flash the Simply Honey rom and it wont wipe as it auto detects. You be right back where you started.

basicly almost all so called roms out there are themes with kernel attached
90% or more files inside their 200mb packages are matching stock ones
but that way new user thinks, hell lot of good job i will donate =)
most of roms claims best stability, best speeds everything best
while speed depends on kernel used and system version basicly
so you have same insides in every each one of them with one of few kernels out there
only thing that difers them is theme used
everything is more or less placebo

Thanks a million u guys

$omator, I think that when you get a room you get a theme + kernel + android stuff + some apps that work well together (or should). So developers should have some credit.
Buy it is true that a 100% real rom is something like cyagonenmod.

well, Only thing I will agrre on is , the kernel builders and themers do NOT get enough credit for there work compare to rom builders, thats sad but again huge 'unknown difference between guy that make the voodoo stuff and guy that just compile it .
For the rest I disagree .. plain and simple , the way the framework files are handled when modified and how junk files/ids values present depends on the builder , the updater script, optimization of pngs, deodexed zip aligned , the init.d script chosen to go with the kernel are 90% of what makes a rom , on first boot when your dalvik is created the rom stability is created, some badly themed apks wont even run on first boot they require already present dex files so the system can correct the errors after the initial first boot (witch is long ) themers dont have to worry about that , but throw there files ina stock deodexed rom and flash iit full wipe letssee if your phoen runs smooth 'just becuz its 'JVQ with the latest OMG kernel.... 10% is placebo no doubt .. certainly not 90%%%
of course they are some rom chefs that take the work of others theme it and call it there ROM thats another story...
btw dont you run stock rooted kernel on odexed rom ??? if so thatwoudl lead me to believe you are VERY biased ....

same with galaxian kernel, it is bunch of features from every other kernel + bugs
bugs that are bugfixed every single day and new final version is delivered, that is said by him the best fastest stable bugfree and so on ....
this guy claimed 170$ for fixing bugs that he have made and that could be ironed in betatesting process if he would conduct one and features from other kernel devs basicly ;]
his thread lacks of current sources - i am suprised that his thread still exists and he is not kicked out

agree about the wipe, does not agree that optimizing zipaligning and all that are necessary
still majority of copied files are intact that is what ive ment
and those roms are basicly themes as if you would take the custom kernel out that is what your left with, a theme - that is my opinion i will try to hold on

or they leave old version of apps just because 'they still work on new version"
what is basicly reverting their theme/rom to a previous firmware revision
because those new files in most cases contain aside of some language bugfixes
a real bugfixing or optimization of code - but hey one say, it still works with the old one =)

[GUIDE]simple tips choosing a custom ROM

I've seen a lot of new member here. I hope this thread might help them decide what ROM are best for them and reduce the number of question. however, I won't mention any rom in this forum to keep this thread from my subjective point of view. you should see the development section by yourself to find your best suited rom for you.
OK. lets get straight to the topic. this is some things that you should consider when you choose a custom rom. I'll divide the guide into three main parts two make everything is easy to understand. the parts are performance, style, and additional consideration.
##PERFORMANCE##
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. debloatware
debloatware is a process to remove considered useless apk from the system. every rom has different degree of debloatware. a hight degree debloatware means you'll have only use a little of ram space for system app. however we'll lost some of sync function like kies synchronization if we remove all bloatware from the system. make sure that you still have all the app you need from stock rom in your custom rom.
2. deodexed vs odexed
Most of custom rom available is deodexed rom while our stock rom is half deodexed rom. I'll try to explain it in most simple way. First of all, we should understand that mostly every app in android consist of three part, *apk files, *dex/odex files, and lib files.
ODEXED rom means that *dex file needed to run the app is extracted from the apk file and placed in same folder with the apk files (/system/app). the positive side, it is tend to more stable and consume less internal memory and a execute faster. it is also faster since the system doesn't have to build dalvik cache at boot process. the negative side, it makes the app uncostumizable (cannot apply custom themes) and need more space in system partition.
DEODEXED rom means that *dex file needed to run the app is extracted from the apk file and placed in /data/dalvik-cache. the positive side, the app can be themed (full customizable) and consume less system partition. we could put more app in /system/app in deodexed rom. the negative side, it consume a lot of internal memory. the system also might a little bit slower since the system need to build a lot of dalvik-cache when the phone start.
3. custom kernel
a custom kernel could give you a huge boost of performance. for the most basic one, you should choose a kernel with init.d support. we'll need it to run a lot of performance tweaks. if you're seeing a custom kernel, you should look into these point:
- custom governoor
custom governoor will give you a lot of option to set your device performance. you can set the performance as hight as possible or save your battery as long as possible by set the correct governoor.
- custom scheduler
its almost same with custom governoor. however it manage I/O on your device. it won't give you a huge boost on performance but you should consider it as your main consideration.
- droidwall support
- a2sd and swap support
- additional feature
- bug and rom compatibility
not all custom rom compatible with all custom kernel. make sure that your custom kernel is compatible with your rom.
4. performance tweak availabilty
for a basic consideration, make sure that your rom have a performance tweak. otherwise, you'll got only a themed rom with stock performance. if you're a performance person, make sure your rom is have these tweak.
- memory management optimization
- hsdpa optimization
- kernel and I/O optimization
- gps optimization
- internet speed optimization
these tweaks are could be found at build.prop, init.d, sysctl.conf, and gps.conf.
5. additional tweaks
there are also some additional tweak you should consider if you want to install a rom. the commonly used are:
- bravia engine
- sound enhancement
6. performance app
some ROMs offer performance tweak app like ROM manager inside it. you should consider these app if you're a performance person
##STYLE##
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. theme
this is a very subjective topic. you should choose a rom with a topic suit with your style.
2. degree of customization
every rom has certain degree of customization. if you're a themed person, you should consider these point for your rom.
- EDT tweak for statbar customization
- ROM'S lab
- customizer app
- theme availability
3. ROM special app
some of ROM have special app for their rom. they're specially developed for only certain roms and comes with special names and various function. these app will give you a huge power for style and performance customization.
##ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION##
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. update availability
some ROMs are good but they're left undeveloped. you won't get an update for your rom. you should choose a rom with a continous update from the dev to ensure you get the best rom for you.
2. dev support
not all ROM maker are really a dev. some of them just a wannabe dev with a theme modified rom skill. you can't expect them to solve the bug in their rom. you should choose with a good reputation and high skill.
3. rom size
this is not a huge issue. if you have a slow internet connection, a smaller rom is better for you. smaller rom also means a big degree of bloatware. the system will be lighter than the other rom.
4. rom base
some of rom are using old firmware (--KL) while some other are using newer firmware(--LB or newer). you should aware of these stuff since not theme and mod available in our forum are compatible with all firmware. new firmware will give you more stability but in most case you can't have custom bootanimation.
5. multilanguage
this is not a huge issue but you should consider it as well. not all rom support japanese, chinese, arabic, spain and latin fonts.
DISCLAIMER: REMEMBER THAT YOU'LL NEVER GET ALL IN ONE PACKET ROM. ALL ROMS HAVE THEIR STRENGTH POINT. YOU CAN'T EXPECT ANY DEV TO MAKE "A PERFECT" ROM FOR EVERYONE. IF YOU DON'T SATISFY WITH YOUR ROM REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS CUSTOMIZE YOUR ROM BY YOURSELF.

Reserved for dunno
just in case

This thread really help me to create my own custom rom with world best future ......... many many thanks for the great thread .....

If i use to create odexed rom is it support all tweaks ..
And if i costmize only systemui /firmwork * (deodexed)
With odexed rom its support or not...
Sent from my GT-S6102 using Tapatalk 2

if you want a customizable theme you can make your systemUI.apk as a deodexed apk. if your apk have classes.dex inside it you'll need to delete systemUI.odex from your system.

Can i add a link to this in FAQ bro?
This is basic but very useful for newbies

yes sure...

that is an unending debate, anyway for me
stability - stock ROM

I already have all my tweaks needed for my rom. If anyone asked "what rom do you like?" I'll answered "just a stock rom but with a better graphic and sound driver". however, I'm afraid we've to build it from source to get it

More questions
Great explanations bro, specially for nobs like me
My questions are:
1- How can I know if the ROM totally support Arabic-Language?
I live in Saudi Arabia and My SGY comes with XXLC1 stock ROM.
2- Is there any other stocks than XXLC1 ROMs I can use and still support Arabic and Modem-settings in my region?
I notes that most if not all custom ROMs based on Different stocks than mine.
I know, it sounds like I answered my first question in the second one, but still I need more clarifications.
3- Now I'm using REMIX ROM with [email protected] Kernel, based-band S5360XXLC1. Still, I can't have full Arabic interfaces and
my browsers cant read Arabic too. I wounder why?
Sorry for the very nob questions and Thank you very much.
