[RQ]Nice looking ROMs / No bloatware - HTC Wildfire S

Hi guys,
I am confused with all those fancy looking ROMs.
You are good in coding, building, cooking but still not sure about themeing...
I have an idea and I wish to ask you to try to make ROMs that way:
1. cook the ROMs in classic look and easy to see and understand (white text on black menu or something) just the basic theming and give an option to update for another look...
2. when you are building sense ROM please make it the way sense look like not with some orange icons or percents with transparent menu upon a light wallpaper where you cant see anything without hardening you eyes.
3. building Cyan is the same, make it stock and give an option to theme it.
4. do not put some extra software in the ROMs, that way you just got where everybody wanna go away from (HTC way) We all want to remove the bloatware with the stock ROMs but stock ROMs instead of giving us basic option to install what we need give us more and diferent other bloatware
========================================
anyway, I am posting this because I am looking on all those Sense3.5 threads. I don't have enough time ATM to build one miself the way I like it to be, so I am searching for stock stable kernel, basic clasic sense3.5 look with sense3.5 functionality, stock icons and stock boot animation and etc. but I couldn't find such. every sense 3.5 rom is moded somehow, why you are using sense3.5 in the ROMs name when you use just few setings from sens and everything else is moded?!?
I do not want to be rude at all!!! you all have my possitive feelings, thats a wonderful forum with more wonderful members...just...please listen to me and when you build please add an option for the members to choose whether to update through a custom recovery the look of the ROM, give us basic look sense, ADW or MIUI ROMs!
Best Regards

Most basic 3.5 for WFS, use UOT Kitchen to change the battery to stock, its clearier than clear

This is a development thread, not a request line. Keep this place uncluttered by posting stuff like this in general, a rom post or a pm.

That's pretty much why I just use a rooted version of the stock rom.
Yeah, right now im using the stock rom with netarchy kernal
Im a huge fan of the Damage Control and Fresh ROMs. Im a bigger fan of the Fresh ROM and am currently running his 0.5.3 version. Anything that has been removed by the developer you can always re add to make it your own.
I'm using Damage Control right now, but it gets the boot as soon as CyanogenMod is released.

Hey guys, could you either describe or post links to threads describing some of the roms that you're bringing up?
I mainly rooted my phone to customize the hell out of it, but now I'm interested in things liek overclocking it, and using less battery without losing use of my camera and camcorder.
Ok ok so which would be the closest to the features that sense offers by the way on those roms can u use sense widgets
if you really really like sense and do not want to get rid of it you don't have to. the ROMs like Fresh and DC uninstall only parts of Sense...and they put those parts in a folder. if you to add something back like FriendStream or FMRadio for example, then you just double click it to reinstall it.
from your two posts, i'd say use Fresh 1.0.1 or stay with your clean rooted rom. it's ok either way...the nifty thing about getting full root w/ NAND is that you can create an 'image' of you EVO. then load up the DC ROM or the Beast ROM...if you don't like it, revert back to your image and away you go. figure about 5min to create or restore from an image.
install something like adw.launcher or launcherpro and then you can actually see what breaks when your not using sense. (it is very easy, simple and non destructive to flip flop which 'application launcher' you use)
Fresh - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726090
I think Fresh may be a bit more conservative in his work than the DC team. HTC Sense will still be available on both once you are rooted and booted. it won't be until you install/use an alternate launcher that Sense widgets have issue. if you continue to use Sense then you can reinstall those component very easily.
i would suggest that you spend more time reading the Development thread. the answers ARE all here...unfortunately, threads like this one add to the overall chaos on the site. but its ok...search tools are your friend.
TJDuckett - read up on DamageControl and Fresh. Toast and Netarchy have custom kernels available. CM6 will be out soon, you will probably want to read up on it as well. use the xda search or google ( add site:xda-developers.com to your queries). good luck and enjoy.
Oh wow that's alot of good info thanks alot, i try to do as much research as possible before i post anything... one last question n i think i'll be good to go. When i did the nandroid backup image (i have clockwork recovery) that image when loaded is a full restore of how i had it when the image was created

I have a question about the flash 10.1 that's included... is it ACTUAL full flash, or is it the one that I read about on here (in the NO FROYO NEEDED! thread), that's pretty much bunk?
If it's actual, full flash, then is it one that I can just add onto what I have now?
Because, I'm running rooted 1.47.651.1 with damned near the exact same, custom theme, and don't really see the difference between what I've got and what's listed on this rom.
... definitely not trying to put down anyone's efforts, and in fact I'm asking, because it's so similar to what I'm running that it may be what I go for if it has something enticing.

[Q] Boot animations and themes

Just a couple questions about some stuff.
I'm running the Cannon 2.1 rom and I really enjoy iy. I've used a couple of the Froyo roms but can't seem to get the apps to install to anywhere except the phone so I'll just stay here. Anyway..I've seen a couple of boot animations I like but they says there for a different rom..Will they work with mine??
Also....THEMES..I like new themes..I like to switch em alot but I can't really find any..Is there a thread on here I'm missing?? Maybe a website in general?? Does it have to be for my phone/rom, or just for android in general???
Thanks folks.

i might not know alot about themes and roms seeing that im very new to this.. but i like the nexus one boot screen and i downloaded a flashable signed zip from the forum and ive used it with every rom ive flashed.. ( CM6 based).. but i dont reeally think it matters!
and ive used majority of the froyo roms and most of them have the app2sd fully working .. u just goto follow instructions on how to enable it
and theres like tons of themes and such in this forum , heck just search around.. ull find so many that u wont even have time to try em all XD
as for the theme for specifics... ye i think the theme has to go for the phone.. again this is just my assumption but im just saying cause most themes are custom made for resolution specific devices... also like wvga and hwvga but meh..
try and try and try..im very positive you cant brick your phone by theming

Like Dhruv94 said, most boot animations will work with any ROM. As far as themes, you have to find a theme made for the ROM your running. Most ROMS have different framework so just any ol' theme wont work. Unless its a metamorph and it says (Will work for any 2.1 ROM) or something like that.
Ok....since I'm using the SpeedTeam 2.2 build, I would have to find a them for that one, or any one compatible with all 2.2 builds...correct?
What about the Launcher Pro..I don't really like the other one..ADW??..I just find the icons cleaner and I've had crashes before,will I have to get a theme compatible with that as well?
Sorry for the noobish questions but I'm ust to WinMo.
Thanks

No biggy, its good to ask questions when your new to things like this. As far as launcherpro, it doesnt have anything to do with any themes you will install so you dont have to wory about that. Also, alot of people that make ROM's, base there ROM's off of cyanogenmods (including speedteams i think). So if you find a theme that is made for cyanogenmod RC3 or something like that you can use it with speedteams ROM if they based theres off of cyanogenmod RC3. If you look in the first post of the thread where you found your ROM it will tell you what they based there ROM from. If i were you i would flash the new cyanogenmod RC3. Its running very good and alot of people will make themes for it. Go to cyanogenmod.com and go to dream magic themes and you'll probably find one you like. If you need any help at all just let me know.

[Q] Most default 21680 ROM

HI!
Well, my question is simple: is there any 21680 Default ROM for my TILT2 / HTC TP2 ?
If not a totally default one... Which one is the cooked ROM that has less customization ? I mean, in the graphical style. I want the graphical style and startup programs to be untouched.
Thanks!
I think what you are looking for is this:

Try Energy ROMs. NRGZ28 is using 21680 right now. It's pretty fast. If you like Sense, but don't want many extras, you can check out the Standard Reference ROMs. They were just updated earlier tonight actually. If you'd rather not use Sense, go with Titanium.
Check out Simplicity rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734399
Get Oskitchen, dump your stock rom using that. Import 21680 into the kitchen, and then cook your own with 21680 replacing the default sys. No need to play with any options etc. You will get the stock rom with a new sys.
Can't really get much closer to stock than that.

Mod specific

Hi, i know we have a lot of mods for various roms like runny and arhd, my question is..can we use these mods on other roms that use the same sense etc,
I only ask because i know its luck of the draw if they do,for example i downloaded an ics theme for runny that was for another rom, the original theme seemed to leaved when even a small change was done in rctweaks, with this ics theme, the theme remains and is sweet..
Basically a long winded way..
Do the mods work on other roms because of the sense version,asop etc
or is it specific to the framework as i know when you use the kitchen it is based on that
Thanks in advance,probably is a stupid question yes
I don't work on any ROM's. Other than for me.
Rule of thumb
Sense specific mods won't work on AOSP/CM7.
CM7/AOSP specific mods won't work on Sense.
Backup & Flash, the only way for sure to know.
-
Hi andy,yep i understand you cant mod cm to sense and vice versa etc, but i mean
for example,ive got a theme for runny...but im running virtuious,both running sense 3.5.
some work for each other and some dont?
just curious to why
There could be a million & 1 reasons.
Framework differences, Sense version, kernel, installed system apps. The list could go on.
Your best bet is to make a backup, flash/apply the mod and see if it works. If not, restore.
Lol I use that method a lot, ill keep doing so

To Choose custom ROMss

with repect to all rom developers... didnt mean to compare all your rom
i'd like to try all roms, ..just wondering how the newbies decide which rom you will go for
for example i will choose
1. roms which has the most pages of comment
2. the rom that shows highest benchmarks result
3. old chef from old mobile
4. updated frequency , many version, many fix ...
becuase every on of them seem to be very nice & with hard work... difficult to decide
I will fix your post for you due to showing noobiness and such.
1. No one does that, thats stupid
2. Benchmark results can be faked very easily.
3. True, but only if you liked his work before, you will like his work now. But if you seen that chef which didn't make such a good ROM before, I wouldn't go for them.
4. Doesn't matter if its updated or not, you're supposed to find what is best for you and your country's networks. Also most updated doesn't mean its the best.
BUT...
I'll answer them after being such a douche
I would go for these if I wanted the Sense UI:
Android Revolution HD or LeeDroid OneXtreme
If I wanted a Sense-less UI, I would go for these:
eXoDiZeD or CyanogenMod 9
In XDA, no one asks those questions, we try out what fits us best and what doesn't
IMO I try out all the ROMs .. Because each developer has his own set of tweaks included. We have some great developers who have amazing ROMs. To be honest it's more personal decision. I suggest you try out reach ROM and stick with the one you like the most. Personally i'm waiting for AOSP or CM ROM I hate Sense.
I've just bought my new HTC one x, and after unlocking bootloader and flashing a CWM, I've looked for a custom Rom but we have too many cRoms in our development section!!! First I flashed mike's android revolution, because I used it on my transformer and I wanted to check it on my phone, but I didn't enjoy it at all. So I flashed leeDroid cRom, and I love it!! I'm going to flash a senseless Rom now, wich one do you prefere?
i haven't flashed custom room yet. only update 1.28 stock. i might wait for cm9. or deciding to go for Romaur which had high benchmark result even the above post said its easy to fake at least some thing to look at rather than the feeling. or go for insert coin coz seen someone posted this rom is the best .. like going oversea wanna have good lunch and chose by looking to where people goes
