Hello,
So I have a question, but first let me explain why I want to know. I have been trying to find a barebones ROM, as far away from Google and Cyangine Mod as possible, which is nearly impossible. I have tried many ROMs and found some apps I like and would like to use on a personal custom ROM. How do I extract apps, like the gallery from DU ROM and use it on other ROMS. Is there a certian Lib/Lib64 file needed to use it, or any other files?

I really would love a basic ROM of the stranded ROM. No stocks,footprints,Facebook,twitter. Etc
Is there such a thing ?
Not too sure if you can get a Sense ROM without those.
I keep looking in at the ROM development stuff, but to me its all to much tech speak Guess I'm getting to old. And some threads have 12,000+ posts to wade through.
Does it need to be Sense? Have you tried any AOSP ROMs?
Oxygen is a great, clean and fast ROM based on AOSP.
just download the ROM.zip open it with WinRAR and delete .apk of the files that you dont want.

And if you're lucky, it might boot

look for the rom editor on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122372
it is a little tool for removing apk's that you don't want and adding some that you do - it's nice for if you don't feel brave enough to start wading through the zip yourself
you can't remove all sense - as then you'd just have AOSP anyway - but you can remove a lot of junk you might not want like teeter, stocks, peep etc.
I had to flash another rom because some things didnt work for me, but its a much nicer looking rom...especially the apps. Can you install say the file explorer/manager app onto Cognition?
If so, it would be good to collect them in one post!
Hello,
Firstly, I am new to this forum. I watched the "noob video" and try to follow the guidelines.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Y(oung) GT-S5363. The baseband version is S5363XXKK3.
My Carrier is O2 Germany.
Now I found that the original firmware's options are kinda limited. For instance it doesn't have different profiles and there is no setting for vibration feedback while typing.
Now I want to flash my phone with a custom ROM. The ROMs I found are for the GT-S5360, but after a short forum search I discovered that I can use 5360 ROMs.
However, the custom ROMs I found are a little bloated. I don't want the ROM to have as many functions as you can pack into it and change the whole look & feel of the phone.
I want the ROM to use as little RAM and CPU as possible. It is not important to have German as UI language setting, but the Swype keyboard should know German.
Now which ROMs could you recommend to me? If there is no ROM out there which meets my requirements, would you recommend me building my own one?
Thanks in advance,
Luca
check out the multilanguage roms in android dev. section.. u can find the rom u like over there
Cranium is very minimalistic. So I guess Cranium is the one you are looking for. Theres only a handful of Roms available though.
No custom rom atm has Swype as keyboard. Just download Swype beta, it has German language support.

hybrid is also known as a light one. if you want the swype. copy swype.apk in your current rom (in /system/app) to your sd card then copy it to /system/app folder in custom rom's zip folder.
btw, you can remove any bloatware from your rom manually by deleting the apk's via root explorer or any file explorer which could acces system's folder.
Is this possible with Linux as Desktop OS? I use Xubuntu and don't want to install Windows just for messing around with my smartphone^^
to modify the rom's *zip file you can do it in linux or whatever OS as long as you can open the zip file. to manually remove the bloatware from your current stock rom you should root your device and install root explorer.
So, I clicked through a few threads with the alternative firmwares. As far as I got it, both the Cranium and the Hybrid mod change the look & feel drastically. Is there a way to have more settings with the Samsung TouchWiz UI?
you may use another launcher...

More settings? Try Creed's. It has Auto Brightness, Xloud, Swipe to remove notifications in the newest version and what not. Im running on v2.0 though.

Hi, I recommend EmeralD ROM
It contains German Swype, and just some minimal modifications on the stock ROM.
There's all the stock apps in, but you can remove the unneeded apps from the zip (system/app folder) before applying.
I want to create a ROM for Personal Use , So i would Like To Integrate some Apps And Zip(Like GPS Fix,Language Support, Kernel etc). I have tried to add some apps in /system/apps/ folder but gave error while flashing(Bad Zip or something like that).
I read some threads regarding adding apps to ROM by putting apps to (/data/apps/). But i will try it tommorrow.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
I tried looking around but couldn't find a solution but i have a custom ROM and i wanted to install a few stock apps like the remote app and the power saving app because i was used to them, where can i find them and install them?
You can see if they are ported to aosp by browsing the themes and apps section.... But as a rule, apps made for Sense require the Sense framework to function. So sense based roms should have the apps, or at least you could manually install them.
As far as finding them, some may be on the play store, or you can wait for someone to upload them for you. ?

Hi, thank you for the reply, yes i can now agree with you that i need a sense based ROM to have the stock apps working because they are available on the play store and you can install the app but when you run it, it refuses and says unsupported device.
Thanks for this
