Is there a ROM out there that is bare bones SENSE based without any applications? I want a ROM to store as nandroid along side CM7 for doing the ## codes when necessary...
I'd like for it to be as small as possible, not only because of the space on the sdcard, but to make backing it up and restoring it as quick as possible...
Any sense rom will be around 200 mb. I usually use myn's or calk's for the purpose you speak of. You could take an ota rooted zip and remove all the unnecessary apps.
ricsim stock turbo or reengineered by mik froyo
these are just my personal uses and opinion for a rooted stock rom.
I've searched and tried looking for the thread that talked about this. I'm running Insertcoin Sense rom and I don't like the stock dialer and contacts apk. I would like to use gingerbread's apk and I need to find the right one to replace my current ones.
This step is new to me, so I will ask. Can I just use Root Explorer to replace those apks? I've seen how they do it for the Samsung G, by just pasting the new apk into the system app folder and removing the stock ones.
Thanks for your help.
can anybody help?
Here you go, I just extracted it from the AOSP rom. May I suggest if you like the look of gingerbread rather than sense then just flash a AOSP rom.
That's what i've done in the past but I like some things from sense that aren't in AOSP roms. Thanks for the links.
I just rooted my phone, flashed superuser and backed it up. Now I installed a theme, but after it gets passed the 4G screen it makes me force close a lot of apps, did I install it wrong? PLEASE HELP!
You installed a non compatible theme most likely. Restore your backup
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
How do I know if it's a compatible theme?
Most themes say which rom its for. If you were on the stock rom you need to find a stock rom theme
We're comin from a pure power source.
Damn, sorry I'm a noob, how do I know what stock Rom I have
Well, if you just rooted then you probably have the basic odexed ROM. Most of the themes are for deodexed ROMs.
Please correct me if the theme is for odexed, but I am guessing that is the problem. If you didn't make a nandroid you may have to flash your first custom ROM

nandroid shows up in the boot menu, and i flash the theme. Is there any sites you guys can recommend for themes?
2.3 root
hboot 2.16
How do I find if the ROM type and if it's Odexed?
If you haven't specifically flashed the stock deodexed rom, it's odexed. You'll need to flash the stock deodexed rom to be able to theme. The themes will need to be made specifically for stock, Sense 2.1/3.0, CM7/AOSP and MIUI themes won't work.
If you want more themes, you'll be better off flashing a custom rom. I'm not sure about the availability of Sense themes, but CM7 and MIUI have theming built in. These are both AOSP roms, they're not Sense which is what you're used to. MIUI is my personal favorite, and definitely the most themable.
You can always make a nandroid backup and try out different roms/themes. If you don't like what you flash, just restore your backup or keep flashing until you find something you like.

I just discovered BNC-GIO-v1.0-R2 rom and it looks quite promising. But most of stock apps were trimmed out. I wanted to put in again Memo but was not able to do it by copying it's apk to system/apps with root explorer and giving the apk all permissions. Does anyone know if there's another way to install stock apps on this rom?
cheers

It won't work unless it has the Samsung TouchWiz Framework like all stock ROMs have. I'm not sure what Delanoister based his rom off of, but I believe it's based off of CM7 and not the official 2.3.6 firmware. I think that BNC-GIO-R1 is based off of the official 2.3.6 firmware, so you can try that and the stock apps should work...
Hello devs,
I would like to ask which library and framework jar files (if any) are related to the Phone.apk and Contacts.apk in some of the custom Android Nokia X ROMs with default Jelly bean appearance of these two apps. I am not a developer but I would like to try to port these two default Jelly bean system apps to a deodexed version of the original stock Nokia X ROM. I do not like the appearance and mostly the way these two apps behave in the stock ROM and that is why I need them ported. Would it be enough to just copy files from a Custom ROM to the Stock ROM or a change of the stock Kernel would also be necessary?
What about also a port of the Lock screen (default Jelly bean) from Custom ROMs to the Stock ROM? Which files are related to it?
Any advise and help are greatly appreciated.
I do prefer the stability of the Stock ROM but several features like the mentioned above could substantially add value to the stable Stock ROM. Unfortunately, after trying a number of custom ROMs I still prefer the stability of the Stock ROM.
