Root [ROM] RomZeroFinal 4/3/2011 it's not over

Ladies and Gentlemen It's here the rom zero final.
So what's this rom all about? Let me tell you :D

First this rom is only for the guys that had 2.2 and can flash 2.2 roms

Can be overclocked
all metro likeness removed
new ringtones + notifications
Adwlauncher as default
stagefright enabled
completely new shared uid
awesome

issues
none

How to flash this rom

Download the rom
Download the gapps (google apps)
put both the rom and the gapps on your sdcard and reboot into recovery
in recovery wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and .android secure
select flash rom from zip and flash the main rom and then flash the gapps.Reboot your phone and enjoy.
.Also download the rom here and the gapps

I changed my mind I'm gonna focus only on the 2.2 rom development. Why you ask? because I realized the only people on here that read or have donated have been the ones that were originally here when I first started. I'm not gonna pull my other links but I won't be working on them.


I can't download the rom or I got problems
read the other thread it's got the answers in there for you. If you still
can't figure it out take your phone place it on the ground and stomp on it
cuz you don't need android in your life.
Also I don't take any responsibility in anything you do to your phone

Anyways enjoy the rom
 
If you really must have the gallery and videos working right now. Download Gallery from the market. the guy doesn't really respond to emails but I'm gonna see if I can just get the source or put the apk in my rom it would be a lot easier then messing with this :D It's called gallery3d and is made by rayman50 I tested it and it works

I prefer QuickPic and RockPlayer anyway. Thanks for all your work!
 
sorry, I tried to append my original post and screwed up...

Here is what I put together. I conserve on real estate by using folder organizer and using a 1 pixel, transparent icon for each folder. Each folder opens into a small menu of frequently used options. Everything is at my finger tips. I have three docks with launcher pro. I'm using the galatic core, live wallpaper.

Thank you Asadullah. :)

Thank you for the bump and thank you for the ROM. I'm installing it now. =) Thank you for introducing me to ADW. I run ADW and Launcher Pro now, because I like launcher pro's options but ADW is more stable for system tweaks.

My thoughts on the rom:

I find that I get better results with the LCD density changer if I go into ADW for start up and shut down. I am not sure if that will be the same for everyone, but that works for me.

The gallery worked for me in the previous version of the rom, and the newer one may be slower for some users. Gallery ++ or Quick Pic -- my favorite -- offer alternatives.

The screen lock works again! :)

I can still send MMS while connected to Wifi! :) I have not tested receipt yet.

The "FEED ME ENERGY I'M LOW" is great!

The bootscreen is always a crowd pleaser.

Overall, a fast, stable rom.

Thank you! :)

Now for a look at some possibilities using Launcher Pro & Folder Organizer:

Sweet. I missed the overclock. Phone felt so slow without it. Ill download it whenever my brother gets off the computer.
 
The issue I have is whenever I open google maps and I dont have my GSP on I always get "your current location is temporarily unavailable"
 
I'd just turn on my GPS and chalk it up to not living in a perfect world, for now, but thanx for the error report.

Thank you for your hard work Asadullah!

As a critical thinker, I tend to consider pros, cons, and solutions when I make decisions and when I speak publicly. I want to point that out so nobody thinks that I am being negative in any way. I want to offer notes on my experience to help develop the rom.

Gallery seems to work. I have not tested videos, but the gallery shows photos for me. Youtube works.

I downloaded "voice search" from the market to allow the voice function in swype.

If you have difficulty freezing or uninstalling ADB launcher, just be patient through the hangs. When it did not resolve for me, I started holding down buttons until it restarted. When I came back into the OS -- after a reboot -- I was able to uninstall ADB and install launcher pro.

The home and search buttons do not seem to work for me. I think maybe the issue comes from not having the LG Home installed. Is this correct? Is there any way to install LG Home?

I am using button savior. It solves some of the issues I have with the buttons, save for the search button. So, with this program, you can access recent apps but the search button still seems MIA for me.

MMS sends even while connected to the internet! The stock rom would not do that, and this was only possible on the team chicken eater rom until now. This is great!

So far, I am happy with the rom. I am running at 748 mhz. The power down is way faster than before as well! Also, the heap is defaulted at 32, so there is no need to adjust it -- yay!

This note is an aside, with nothing to do with the rom: I noticed that wifi sucks on this phone sometimes. I find that if I face the back end of the phone toward the router, that it downloads faster. It'll sound stupid to people who don't know any better, but for us who know something about how antenna and radio waves work, it makes sense. Your millage may vary.


You said the home and search buttons do not work with this release?
 
I flashed the rom......It just has a lot of hexagons keep flashing on phone for like 15 minutes......nothing is happening....I'm going to nand restore.....nevermind....did it again..it worked
 
That is the Honeycomb boot screen. I would let it roll for an hour or two, if it doesn't work then I'd flash. Sometimes hardware hangs, but it works on my phone.

If you were genuinely confused, you may have noticed the ROM was updated and I made mention of that in a subsequent post. The post you quoted was for an older version; I need to edit that post. Thank you for the reminder.

Cool. I wouldnt have put it on mine if it wasnt complete. thanks for the input. I will be flashing tomorrow.
 
We beta test the software here too, this is the cutting edge. If you help out and make a donation, it keeps things running smoothly. ;)

I used some apps you can get from the market:
  • Galaxy Live Wallpaper
  • Launcher Pro
  • Folder Organizer

With those programs, you will need to set things up.
  1. install Launcher Pro
  2. set your desktops to one and your launcher to three
  3. put your 10 most commonly used programs -- aside from your dialer, contacts, app drawer, sms, and browser or email -- on your other docks you can put five on each.
  4. Apply the Galaxy Live Wallpaper
  5. Set your applications up in File Organizer so that everything is in groups.
  6. Make a transparnet 1px by 1px image in photoshop to serve as a folder icon for each folder
  7. group your folders accordingly, use the icon and place up to 16 folders on your desktop, with five normal dock features, 10 extra dock features, and hellacious speed and style.

Some final notes:
  • the possiblities are endless
  • you can make any font color for folders
  • you can have transparent window backgrounds
  • you can make custom icons for your launcher, all my icons are custom made and even the dock is customized. But the two sets of two icons on either side of the middle icon came from Launcher Pro Icons, which you can get in the market.

Here is the latest:

That line pops up sometimes in shootme, I don't know why. If you need more specific help, please ask specific questions here.

How do i get my phone to look like the pic up above....i flashed back to stock......maybe flash back when i learn more...

So if I flash this ROM how do you go amongst going back to stock? Any measures I should take BEFORE I flash this ROM into my phone? Or can I flash it and forget about it? For GAPPS and the ROM do I place the zip's directly on the root of the SD card? New to all this Android stuff so please bear with me.

When you go into custom recovery you have to make a nandroid backup which will allow you to go back to stock if something were to happen during the flash process. For the GAPPs and the rom I suggest you create a folder called "A" and place them both in there, because the phone can't scroll in custom recovery and they will not show otherwise.
