Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] [ROM]Stock|Root|Odex|DeOdex LJ3|MB2|MF2

lol as of noe this rom on this thread is just pure stock lj3 and or mb2, with a few root/handy additions.. i have a #2 in the works based off the mb2 release.. but honestly i mean we have sooo many ported roms with really awesome features and additions so it'll be hard for me to compete LOL, only advantage me & shabby have is our roms are actually based off the Metro update and not just a port from another device..

as of now i did some small theming, mostly focused on statusbar (it looks pretty cool too LOL) got a few build.prop tweaks im trying with i think 2 init.d scripts, and some pretty cool mods added to it :D

-removed keyboard icon from statusbar
-aosp lockscreen
-home button lag fix
-metro internet homepage set to google.com (hate metro.mobi site lol)
-also 4-way reboot option thanks to arocker :D

been trying to add more here and there but some of these guides are shady and require replacing whole smali methods which never end up working correctly so i'll limit the modding untill further notice.. but it's coming along nice.. probly upload another test soon ;)

EDIT: to naswer your question, i think there no difference, but if metropolis has any mods or tweaks added than that would be the difference LOL, his latest version is based of the mb2 update as well ;)

Hey Bro even though there is roms from other carriers here and being that I was partly responsible my intention was never to take away from our devs... It was more of try this until our guys do their thing on our updates.... I personally run both ur deodexed rom and shabby's rom... I've been trying to add stuff to both on my own for me personally trying to see what I can get to work...

This is what I have so far

Oh no not taking it that way at all my brotha.... All I'm saying it's ok to eat out but nothing beats home cooking lol... I'd rather try and get all the bells and whistles on our stuff... Nothing like flashing and having it all working from the jump :D...

And Damn This obsession now i have to give n2 theme a try lol..

This looks amazing! Will #2 feature an AROMA installer or will you keep rolling bloated/debloated versions?
 
Aroma from what I understand is a ton of code.
yeah if you build it from source and make it all fancy, but i believe i seen it being used already on s3 forums so maybe if needed i can borrow some parts lol, not sure if i like the whole proccess of adding updates though.. seems there can be some tricky loops on occasions lol but to add/remove features & apps etc on initial install seems like a great idea
 
#2:D

I have a feeling this has been answered already but can I just install the framework on a different rom? Like metropolis?

what do you mean?..and sadly, no you cant lol, metropolis rom has the multi-view thing and edited framework files so if you flash anything from stock over it you may break things lol

yeah sorry man lol.. unless someone want to convince shabby to debloat his rom and make a customizer :P.. or ill do it for em since I kinda owe em a biggie :D all up to him though.. his rom and I know it's one he takes pride in so I would hate to offend him anyway about it ;)

on a side note to that though.. im beginning to hate the aroma-installer LOL.. kinda a PITA with some things lol.. you guys have noooo idea how many times I had to test and test and test before I can put something out, then bamm someone finds a huge flaw that I completely missed :/ arrrgggg I just want to delete it all haha

but I wont give up on you guys :D and I wont give out anything to hurt your device's intentionally.. I understand the importance of the $ lol
 
yeah.. app & framework are all thget de-odex'd.. so you have the option.. (rumor has it ODEX performs better) so it up to you whether you want "your" rom de-odex or not ;)
 
Oh well I just flashed it (after a clean install) and it gets stuck at the metropcs boot image, I just tried it without the framework, but maybe it's the 3pac mod that's the issue
