Simple ROM based on stock? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Is there a simple ROM based on stock (not ASOP) that removes bloatware from /system and makes more room? Something like Cataclysm, CleanCore, CleanROM from other devices?
Even better if it gets updates with each monthly security update and provides a simple upgrade path, rooted, etc.
Thanks!

CleanROM on extended hiatus.
The best I found was the CleanROM series from scolser, but he's had to but it down for a while, perhaps forever, due to family and personal health. I've really appreciated all he's done, given my share of donations and wish him all the best. (but I'll miss the great work he's done on the ROM)
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas.

Yeah, bummer. I hope he recovers and comes back.
Meanwhile I guess I can just remove some apps from /system to free up some space.

How about this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/development/rom-bad-boyz-nexus-7-stock-rooted-t3219148 There is a script you can run that'll clean up some of /system.

[Q] cyanogen - is it out?

I read on here he posted a status on twiter but was wondering if it's out and how to install it?
Thanks
Its called cyanogen and no, it hasn't been released as of yet.

Lol @ Crayogen... Anyway like luis86dr said it's not out yet. There were some nightly builds (unstable versions) posted yesterday but they got taken down pretty quickly. When CM6.1RC1 is released it will be available in the Developer section. You'll know when it's there; it'll be hard to miss.

The first rule of CyanogenMod is that you never ask for an ETA (when it will be released). Just thought I'd get that out of the way before someone strangles you for asking
CyanogenMod is a complete OS (Operating System) replacement. Also known as a ROM. In order to install CM, you will need a permanently rooted device. After rooting, you will need to install Clockwork Recovery, which will allow you to back up your current ROM and install the new one. It's fairly easy as long as you follow the steps in the links I posted, and of course follow the steps that will be posted in the CyanogenMod thread when it comes out.

Cyanogen is a ROM. Not a app, big difference. Also to install the rom you will need to perm-root your phone.
Check the development section on how to do this and since your new to android I recommend you study up on adb / fastboot until your comfortable with the root process. Its really easy but any mistake in the commands will result in your g2 becoming a display model.
Once your rooted go to market and download clockworkmod.
Once downloaded open and flash recovery.
Walaaa, your ready for roms and all the bad stuff we shouldn't do to our phones. Hope this helps.

Coming from Windows Mobile, I am used to flashing ROMs left and right. But what makes Cyanogen ROMs so special? From the sounds of it, it is the next best thing since sliced bread.

Well I've never actually run CM before... But from what I understand what makes it so great is that it is based off AOSP (Android Open Source Project) code, adds some extra features, and some optimizations. Basically it's like if you took all the complaints you had about Android and fixed them, then you'd have CyanogenMod.
I think CM is especially good for people who don't have a Vanilla Android phone (like the G1, G2, and Nexus One). For instance my Vibrant came with a lot of proprietary apps and bloatware preloaded, and has a "TouchWiz" interface throughout the entire OS. CM will fix all that

OOOO I didn't know it was a no no to ask the ETA lol sorry...
Well so far I have the vissionary perm root and I have clockwork... I tried backing up the ROM with clockwork before I overclocked the phone... it shut teh phone down and when restarted it sshowed a screen with the android guy and an ! inside a up arrow? I didn't know if it was suppose to do that or if that was bad I pulled the batt and restarted and it started fine so I am guessing I didn't really back up the rom... is that bad if i might want to get back to stock one day?

From my experience with the G1, cyanogen ROMs have always been stable and relatively bug-free with a lot of additions and ability to customize stuff within the ROM.
It's too bad that CM6 only uses ADW as the Launcher, I use LauncherPro Plus (stock ain't bad either) and I hope ADW is as fast & smooth as LauncherPro Plus.

does CM 6.1 RC1 come pre themed or are we able to add a theme on top of it? i really hate this white status bar haha
Yeah, the non-stock launcher has always been the deal-breaker for me, too. I'm enjoying stock rooted with bacon bits for now.
Do you HAVE to use ADW Launcher with CM 6.1? Or once we install CM 6.1 (whenever that is) can we uninstall ADW Launcher and install LauncherPro Plus?

Good to know! Just had to ask since this is my first Android device and installing CM 6.1 would be my very first time installing a ROM.
I use Launcher Pro on my other phones running CyanogenMod. It works great. Sometimes I leave ADW installed, other times I remove it completely.
Great to hear..... Now.... If only Cyanogen would release CM 6.1 already lol

Ok. I think I got bacon bits installed too but what exactly (or where can I go to read up on) does bacon bits give me? I had already installed busybox and I got the superuser extra from rom manager; so, tell me what else I'm getting and how do I best utilize these tools. I basically need a noob guide, but hey I've gotten this far (rooted also killed Google Goggles before the OTA update so I had to roll back then forward) I'm getting it slowly and my little bit of linux exp helps me a little bit too Thanks to whoever for whatever info you can point me to in advance.
On the thread, I been using ADW for a bit now... solid with (main reason) open source development, lots of themes, etc. Used the Launcher Pro (free) and liked it slightly better for feel, but I like something that can be looked at and improved via collaboration.

[ROM][MIUI][21 Jan 12] Mini Mi 2.01.20

First off, I'm not a dev. I'm just a guy with 5 kids who plays with his phone to help keep his sanity. But with CarpeNoctem getting a new phone and Tun4f1sh only making an add-on, I needed my own rom.
Secondly, I'm making this for myself and just sharing. I'm open to fixing bugs, but not adding features. Sorry.
Finally, THANKS to:
g4rb4ge, for porting MIUI to the G2.
MIUIAndroid.com, for the base rom and translations.
CarpeNoctem, for getting me hooked on this rom.
Tun4f1sh, For Bulletproof and making me want to learn more.
Andy Thompson, for the Extended Settings mod and controls.
Tsubus, rmk40, and Juwe11, for optimization scripts.
Dsixda, for his awesome Android kitchen.
What is Mini Mi?
Nothing, or as close to nothing as I can make it.
I wanted to make the smallest rom possible, while still being able to use all of the MIUI features.
Changes:
Removed apk's, themes, media, and fonts I didn't use
Zipaligned
Added Extended Settings mod and MIUI settings app
Added Genie Widget (for lockscreen weather)
Added memory management, sdcard, zipalign, and ILWT fixes scripts
I left the stock CM kernel, if you don't like it flash one of your choice.
Suggested Add-ons:
Bulletproof MIUI Add-on from Tun4f1sh.
ILWT Kernel, ILWT OC daemon, and WiFi calling add-on from Tsubus.
Tiamat Kernel from Cayniarb.
SUperuser 3.0.7 from ChainsDD
Pershoot Kernel
HTC_IME or Jonasl's Themer (For prediction on physical keyboard)
MIUI Small MMS Fix from silverton
Download Link:
2.01.06
2.01.13
2.01.20
Going to give it a whirl. Really appreciate the work! ;]
Downloading now. Ill try it tomorrow(Monday) without "Bulletproof MIUI Pack" and then Tuesday with and let everyone know how it goes. Thanks for a new roms!

Strange, I didn't do anything to the SU and I only had a problem with restoring TI Backup. Did you come from a full wipe?
Seeing as I already had MIUI installed, just cleared cache. I'll try doing a full wipe, seeing as how reflashing still didn't fix the issue.
EDIT: Negative. Even a full wipe didn't fix it for me :[

I did a full wipe and I can confirm root does NOT work. I dont really need it so Im going to stick with it till you find a patch. Also I backed up with MIUI Backup and restored from 12.02 rom and everything it working like I never left other then root so thanks for the great rom!
I updated the OP with a patch. I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow after work. I'm still learning.
Sorry if this is answered somewhere (couldn't find much when I asked/searched relatively recently), but does this MIUI version (or any for that matter) fully support the G2 keyboard - as in, the ".com/www." button works instead of displaying the square?

Nope, no MIUI version does because very few phones have physical keyboards. All attention goes to soft IME's. But you can look here. You'll have to use a hex editor to make your own keymap, but everything you need is on his github.
Hey man I have a few questions.
Removed apk's, themes, media, and fonts I didn't use
Click to expand...

Can you be more specific about what apks you pulled, what themes you pulled (since there is only one theme that comes with MIUI I don't see what could be slimmed down), and the fonts you got rid of? MIUI is already pretty barebones in terms of system overhead and package size so I'm curious as to how your design philosophy works.

Could you also go into some more detail as to what this means and how each script works? I'm not really much of a dev, I just benefit from the effort of others but I do love my documentation, especially before I flash a new rom.
Thanks for the reply.
Edit: Hey as a bit of an aside, for permission controls I always suggest LBE Security Control. It's very effective at not breaking roms yet helping your sense of security. It's free on the market so you could theoretically pre package it in your rom. I usually suggest it since most baked in permission control is often fundamentally broken.
Sure. MiTalk, MiuiStats, and a couple others I can't remember off hand. I removed the Arabic, Thai, and Hebrew fonts, the some of the ringtones and pictures I hated, TTS info for Italian, French, and German, the extra lockscreens in the media folder, and added a smaller bootanimation. I'm going to try to slim it down a little more next week too. I'll make a list.
As for the scripts, in the system/etc/init.d folder there's the SDcard fix which changes the read ahead cache, zipalign which verifies all apks are zipaligned at boot, ramscript which tunes the memory manager, and ilwt-fixes that fixes Flash in the browser.

What ROM for my needs?

Hello,
I have had my note 2 for some while now and I still love how it works. But seeing all the different mods and requiring to get some sort of radio and rom in combination with another extension. I haven't been able to understand how and what to do. So choosing for the easy way out: A rom with the mods I seek build in!
I am looking for a rom that is stock or as close to stock (minus bloatware, i can remove these myself if neccesary), some 5x6 mod for touchwiz (4x5 is a waste of space imo), sd and internal card flipped (using a 64gb sd card its madness to get the icon telling me my memory is gettin full) and the multiwindow mod.
Does anyone know of a rom that is close to what I seek? Please let me know, i've been reading changelogs of so many different roms that its reminding me of my college years.
Thanks
Do a nandroid backup and flash the one that looks closed to what you think you need. Omega rom is very popular, it allows you to choose what is included in the installation when you run it. There are a few other roms which do the same.

Well to be perfectly honest i nearly flashed them all and i have the greatest respect for the devs for building theses great roms and kernels, but the stock rom and kernel gives you the best performance, stability and batterylife
You can however root the phone for some goodies like: addblocking, sdcard tweaks, saving user apps and data, removing bloatware etc etc.

Sense->GPE partitioning?

Hello there!
I saw a guide describing how to go from GPE to Sense with regards to the different partition sizes and I was wondering, since I've done the opposite (Sense->GPE) what would be the procedure for that route?
I wanted to go GPE because I find the amount of space available on my 16GB version unacceptable, only to find I had the same space available under GPE...
Thanks - and apologies if I missed a similar post, I did search, honest
Did you do the "full" conversion to GPE using the modified RUU? Or did you just flash a GPE ROM?
Your post is a little confusing. It sounds like you want to go back to Sense? But your post also states you say the guide to convert back to Sense, so I don't see the issue. Link which guide you are referring to.

Sounds like I may have missed something? No, I didn't do the full conversion, I read that if you go to a custom GP ROM then you're ok with just flashing that...
No, I would like to stay GPE, but assumed I did do something wrong and intend to start from scratch...

Ok, I think I understand what you are asking now.
Flashing a GPE ROM is sufficient if you just want to be on GPE version OS. But flashing a ROM is never going to affect your partitions.
If you want the GPE partitioning, you need to do the full conversion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589
Note, the conversion will install North American radios, which may negatively affect your network reception. You should be able to flash your carrier/region specific radio to resolve this.
Also note that converting back to Sense requires some steps. The guide for AT&T is here (don't know if there is a guide more applicable to your version): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721435

According to the following thread, I gather you can gain 1.8 GB of storage:

Don't really know what else you gain. I believe GPE has its own hboot screen (looks different than Sense); and I'm not sure if you will get the GPE OTAs or not.

Completely agree, 1.8 GB is a good chunk of storage to regain. I knew the partitions were different, but wasn't actually aware until yesterday of the storage amount to be gained. Unfortunately, I actually like the Sense features, so I'm not personally interested in converting.

Yes, the stock ROMs from HTC are taking up more space in the past (especially on a 16 GB version, its not nearly so bad on the 32 GB). But they aren't alone, Samsung stock ROMs are rather large too, and IMO with a lot less functionality and also the infamous TouchWiz lag.
And of course, what one person considers bloat, another considers useful features and apps. Of course, HTC wants to add things that folks will find useful; but not everyone will agree.
As to your first point: I agree; I went with a GPE ROM because I've traditionally hated Sense, but didn't see much in terms of gains. I lost the amazing (AMAZING!) phone call sound quality, battery was worse and I even like the Sense 6 look... Let's see what happens once L is released (but I do use Nova instead of Blinkfeed...)
As to your second point: oh, Samsung probably has the worst software indeed. Sense is not bad, and indeed many people will want to use most of the stuff HTC has on offer, but I think that 6GB for System and another 4 or so GB out of the available space for the Sense apps is way too much. "Bloat" went more to the fact that they probably haven't optimized much of anything rather than the apps themselves... heck, at those sizes we're comparing Android with Windows (my Windows 7 installation is 12GB big if you ignore winsxs and the Installers)...

wifi Roms for SM-T807P

Hello XDA!
I recently purchased a SM-T807P (10.5" LTE/Snapdragon) with the intent to use it as a wifi device.
Will anyone tell me which roms work with this device? I've heard the challenge is to find a snapdragon rom?
Its rooted with TWRP on it already. Just need some tasty roms to play with.
If there is ANY way to get cyanogenmod on it that would be my first choice (I would even be willing to offer a bounty!)
I am already running the only one I could find specifically for SM-T807P.

OR anything that I should try that wont permanently brick my new tablet!
Thanks all!
Now you have twrp just make a full backup before you go messing and you'll never have to worry about bricking your tablet.
As for roms, pretty much all roms are based on stock, so just modify yours as you see fit.
Debloat, add mods, etc.

Considering that I am using a snapdragon version of this tablet maybe you could point me in the right direction about which roms work for that processor versus the other?
I know one of the issues was finding a rom that had the right kernel for my tablet.
No the kernel isn't the issue. Its that the t807p is partitioned differently than what the available ROMs are compatible with. I have the same tablet and as awesome as it it, there is very little support for it. No developers have it and its very difficult to work with without owning one.
There is twrp available which I assume you have used and rooted. There is a stock ROM on XDA that is lollipop that works awesomely. I just debloated it myself and tuned it with kernel tuner with stock rooted options. Xposed won't work without a deodexed rom either which is not available. But regular root options and a different launcher (I use nova) and i have it running pretty damn smooth.

I flashed the only KK ROM I found and got FC's to no avail. I then basically wiped the whole thing then odin'd to lollipop. I am stock now and you're right, it's a damn nice device. -- I wouldn't mind de-bloating it myself, do you by any chance have the 'safe list' to reference as far as which apps are good to go. Last thing I wanna do is get rid of some odd-ball system file that creates hell for myself.
Thank you
Just make a backup first with twrp before you go messing then use system app remover to debloat or just freeze with titanium backup . If you get an issue after removing something you can easily restore it.

here is a post regarding safe apps to uninstall: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/list-bloated-apps-to-uninstall-sm-t700-t2861180
Now what I have personally taken off my tab s has been the superficial apps. The magazine apps, office apps that I have no use for, While a lot of apps on the post may be safe to delete, it doesnt mean you should if you plan on using your tablet for wireless transfers, casting and what not. I prefer not to touch many of the "behind the scenes" apps. And also it depends on why you are debloating. Are you looking for more storage space? or for better ram and performance? Unfortunately, at least for my use, you wont save much storage space by deleting apps. But freezing them and playing with it makes a big difference. On just a standard recent apps clearing and maybe a push of my "fast reboot" app, and I can get my RAM to run at around 900mb and little battery drainage.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions, I have played with my t807p for quite a while with rooting and have learned pretty well what works and what doesnt. I am no developer like the senior members on here but there aren't many people with our specific tab s.

There is a stock ROM on XDA that is lollipop that works awesomely. I just debloated it myself and tuned it with kernel tuner with stock rooted options.

I realize it's been a year or more, but do you have a link to the Lollipop ROM for T807P? I've tried the "SuperSkilled" ROM but it was KitKat. I looked for a Cyanogen build for this tablet but no luck. Looking for any ROM that's close to AOSP or at least debloated and is Lollipop or MM.
