A Full Wipe is REQUIRED before flashing this rom. If you choose not to do this (for who knows what reason) please do not post any problems you are having!
Please note that because all apks have been optimized and rebuilt for maximum efficiency, themeing carelessly will break these optimizations

Can not wait to flash this rom. Your past roms have all been excellent. Thanks for comtributing.
I would encourage everyone to try this rom. His work with the evo and dinc are amazing.

nope. this rom is not deodexed so the mod has to be done differently. right now that is top priority for me as that icon bugs the hell out of me. i also plan on taking out the ADB notification, Alarm, and headphones.

Any chance of getting an aosp rom oit of you?

That's what I figured. I meant to say odexed but it got auto corrected to opened. Glad your working on it. It's really not a big deal but like you said its just annoying. It's completely pointless.

Is this like a vanilla version of Froyo for the Captivate?
will test tomorrow, jus t got back from the bawr crawl
i tried to donate but im having trouble with pay pal. this is exactly what i want. dont mind the touch wiz dialer/ contacts. but the mms needs to go. if you could get with eugene and mod the touchwiz launcher that'd be cool but launcher2 is good too.
One request
And a simple one at that: How difficult would it be to restore the AOSP theme to the notification bar and the rest of the UI? I've tried hacking framework-res.apk before, and failed miserably, so either my google-fu has failed and/or I can't read a howto, or it's more difficult an undertaking than I realize.

just for this post DG i will be sending some drinks your way. Especially if it helps keep the (excellent) ROMS coming. Thank you so much for bringing my captivate to a whole new level
Fancy! Looking good DG! I do like the touchwiz notification stuff and contacts. Would love to see htem interchangeable.
These should get you most of the way. Please credit though. I have been working on these for a couple days now!
framework-res.apk
twframework-res.apk
As for the Calendar not working... don't replace CalendarProvider.apk, just Calendar.apk.
Also, where are you pulling apps from? Like I said, I've been working on an AOSP rom for a couple days already and was pulling from FRG83 (latest update... 2.2.1) for the Nexus One. Just want to make sure we get the latest apps in this rom!
Sweet! Been waiting on this, good to see DG take it up ^_^

Dumb question: What is AOSP?

[ROM] CRONUS v 2.00 26/Dec/2010

CRONUS v 2.00
This is based off of the Spaceman aospMOD v1.1 that a.n was building. Well, I decided to take his existing rom and add to it.
What's new? (12-26-2010)
-Two different Kernels to choose from:
SetiroN v1.4.3 1280 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828052)

-UGJL2 Modem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391)
-MiuiMusic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=862056)
-AppWidgetPicker (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828)
-ADW Launcher 1.3.3
-Browser bookmark icon is now red
-Corrected colored menus
-Corrected icons in quick launch pull down menu
-New notification/pull down bar
-New notification window
-Removed jog tabs from lock screen
-TouchWiz Calendar
-Mms app from CM6.1
-Spare Parts - I recommend setting Window animations/Transition animations to "fast."
Install
1. Backup all your data, a CWM backup is nice to have
2. Flash to Stock
3. Copy Cronus ROM to internal SD Card
4. Reboot into Recovery Mode
5. Flash Cronus via CWM ALL data will be wiped
6. Full Reboot - Wait for phone to start up
7. Cool apps to update in the market or links for the apk
a. SGS Tools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8063408&postcount=1)
b. BLN Control (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823922)

awesome, let me know how it goes. I have just found 1 error so far. Got a FC on the contacts, but when I opened it again it was fine. Let me know if you have any other issues.
so far i am loving it
Great job.
It is just amazing this rom has now survived two devs who bailed on it(for good reasons, not hating).
1.) Again as with the others fast fast fast and with the OC/UV kernel and running everything as ext4 its smoking fast
2.) love the new framework mods, very gingerbready
3.) New market is freaking awesome!
4.) did i say fast!
The only thing i could think of would be the new swipe that is out. But i know some people dont use it so i am not going to harp on a personal preference!
Nice work good sir!
edit: just found that my market is crashing on me. I am running TB right now so i will let that finish and then reload to see if anything helps out! Otherwise good though! Thanks for the work

man, awesome timing....just did a roundabout with the darky's JPU that's based on 2.2.1 and after hours of going through the long install it still paled in comparison to aospMOD
i dont think people realize how amazingly fast this ROM is here.....in fact, there was a version of 1.0 that was linked in the original thread by a guy named tim that incorporated setiron's kernel into it and i'll be damned if i ever find anything as fast as that ROM
i'll give this one a go, though....apparently if you give it the ol' circle-jerk thread title people will actually download it
just a word of polite criticism, btw
the theme on this thing is better suited to black notification bar themes
i never updated to 1.1 on aospMOD for that reason alone (he did a similar theme with the green battery, etc etc).....the plain ol' vanilla theme with black icons is as good as it gets.

Hey
Hey is it possible that you could change the theme to the stock gingerbread themes? I tried flashing the zip found in the themes section but theres a few errors that show up.
pretty sick rom! im liking it. but i have a question and a bug. is there a boot up video or anything? cause after the black gti9000 screen, my screen goes black. and the video camera forecloses. please fix the camera! thanks! but overall, good work! keep it up!
Why do I have to be on a 6 hour road trip right now? Argh!
So far I likely...I used this when it was cde......prob gonna struck with it until cm 6.1 fixes battery issues

Thanks for the feedback. I will look at the camera today. I was not having any errors, but it should be an easy fix. The bootani, yeah when I loaded it last night it appears that the one I snagged just had the initial boot screen, and nothing else. Will get this fix soon. Thanks!
great rom...just did some gps nav and the tracking was great...it was only about 4 miles and 6 turns but tracked perfectly in first test.
the one thing i am missing is the ability to SPEAKNOW.
Is there a way to enable or reinstall (specifically the speaknow microphone is gone from google search bar and is gone from where i used it even more frequently Google Nav).
nevermind just had to reinstall voice search from market and it restored

mini quiz

hey everyone, I am about to release my rom (swag squad) and I was just wondering what features people REALLY want to see.
If you could just post what features you want to see I'll try and include every feature in the rom.
I know this may seem like a stupid thread but I think developers can be much better if people just tell them what they want.
Just post any questions in the thread and the rom will be released in the next 2 days or so.
thanks,
ljbaumer
gingerbread would be much appreciated.

Haha. at this point the rom is going to be 2.2 until a stable version of gingerbread is released for one of the "new"droid phones (Dx, D2, D2g, Dpro).
I am working on status bar controls on the pull down. Like on cyanogenmod and MIUI.
AOSP!!
Cool themes and icons instead of vanilla
thanks for the response,
The rom will be themed and it will have totally different icons than AOSP because in my opinion the AOSP icons are ridiculous.
The rom is based off of gummyjar right now but I will soon convert it to being based off of fission (gummyjar was originally based off of fission also). If tanzite turns out to be a completely stable AOSP alternative I will consider basing it off of that but at this point I have my doubts.
I am going to include the stock AOSP keyboard along with an HTC sense keyboard themed to look like the MIUI one and the controls in the status bar will not be released alongside the beta but should be out once the rom itself is out of beta.
Thanks,
ljbaumer
I'm not too worried about themes as I have a set 'theme' I kinda patch in to every rom I run but a black status bar with white text would be good as the default imo. Not sure if any of these would make it but here's a few things I would like to see:
Gingerbread Keyboard as main kb - The latest release of it as a standalone addon works very well on the D2 and the shrink effect is now gone
AOSP Lockscreen sliders
You mentioned the status bar icons already, but I'd love to see those in a rom on the D2
Have none of the google apps installed to the system by default, let users install them from the market or backups
And the impossible one for last!!! A battery manager that doesn't force close 50% of the time!
I have a few suggestions:
1. A charging light would be much appreciated, half the roms out there dont have it and its really an issue for me as I always think my phone is not charging.
2. Use the latest ADW (If that is what you are going to use), I dont like installing a new ROM and not having the choice to add or subtract screens or changing any launcher settings.
3. Have an alarm clock in by default. One of the main reasons I use fission is because I can still use the blur alarm with it, as I am not really impressed with any other alarm clock on the market.
4. Speed is always nice but without blur these phones run pretty smooth so im not too worried.
5. Make it work. This is kinda general but I just want a rom that I dont have to fiddle with to make it work. I agree with an above poster to leave everything out and just let us install it but things like the camcorder, GPS, USB etc are things that should work out of the box I dont want to have to wait for a new release so I can find my way through town.
Finally, thanks for helping out with these phones. I had to go to stock (Blur) for a little bit the other day and it just kills these phones people like you make me happy that I dont have to deal with a slow ass phone after spending 200 dollars on it.

One version of the rom will come out with a black status bar and one will come out with a white. Neither of them are the stock black and white bar but modded versions.
I will try and include the GB keyboard and I didn't know it worked by itself. If you or someone could post a link to it I will include it as soon as I can. I also include a MIUI themed HTC keyboard which I think works incredibly well.
The rom dosen't include battery manager because of force close issues but under settings-about phone-battery use- you can see all of the things that have been using up the battery in the same way.
I think it will have the GB sliders at the beginning once it is released but soon after I will switch over to stock AOSP sliders with a blue option.

I agree with an above poster to leave everything out and just let us install it but things like the camcorder, GPS, USB etc are things that should work out of the box I dont want to have to wait for a new release so I can find my way through town.
Finally, thanks for helping out with these phones. I had to go to stock (Blur) for a little bit the other day and it just kills these phones people like you make me happy that I dont have to deal with a slow ass phone after spending 200 dollars on it.

1: at this point I don't really know how to include a charging light lol. But if you give me the link to a rom that includes one I can probably figure it out.
2: personally, I am a HUGE launcherpro fan but I understand that a lot of people don't like having to pay $2.99 for the extra features and the free version isn't that great so I may end up including ADW launcher+launcher2
3:I will use the blur alarm clock
4:there will be basically no blur except for: camera, camcorder ( i think blur camera and camcorder work much better), alarm clock, and files.
5: I don't really get what you mean by let you install GPS and USB...
Thanks for the feedback,

Try basing it off of Ultimate Droid for D2 when the final stable is released. It's AOSP and RC2 is running damn well on my D2, minus GPS and camcorder.
i wish there was a way to get the iphone keyboard i know the market has lookalikes but they dont perform like the real one (thats the only thing i like about iphones btw) or to stick with android it would be fantastic to get the dinc sense keyboard if there was some way to make it work.

1. Fission is really the only one I know that has it.
2. I would really appreciate that.
3. Thank god.
4. Awesome. I completely agree
5. I just mean that some ROMs don't have the basics down. When I install your rom I want my phone to work. I dont mean that we should be able to isntall that stuff just that it works.

1: I will end up basing it off of fission but the first release will be from gummyjar2.1
5:the rom should 'just work' and I would never release some crap that people have to work on forever for it to look good and run well because I hate those roms also.

Iphone keyboard would be hard because it uses a different file type for applications and I would have to spend forever porting that over and I would probably need to finish learning java and the android APIs (which I am working on).
The sense keyboard is a themed droid inc keyboard and it will end up using the gingerbread keyboard and the sense keyboard will be a second option.

Haha. at this point the rom is going to be 2.2 until a stable version of gingerbread is released for one of the "new"droid phones (Dx, D2, D2g, Dpro).
I am working on status bar controls on the pull down. Like on cyanogenmod and MIUI.
Click to expand...

i would love to have status bar controls on the pull down!!!, oh and rotary lock screen, thats pretty much all i would like, it should be smooth, fast, and sleek
status bar controls are not the easiest thing to port and it won't be there on the first release but should be there pretty soon after.
I would usually be totally up for anything a user want EXCEPT for rotary lockscreen.
Sorry guys but rotary lockscreen is not going to be featured in swag squad because personally I hate how it looks. sorry
Right now I am converting the base of the rom to fission. I would release the rom right now except for my website and paypal donate are not up and I want those things to be up before IU release the rom.

I'm almost done moving everything over to the fission base, I just have to make the black status bar theme and then test it out.
I will work on my website tonight and hopefully I can finish it by the end of tomorrow so I can release the rom.
All my requests have been slowly added to various ROMs so far, except one. Notification power controls would be absolutely amazing. The one feature I've never seen on a D2 ROM that I want a lot.
Well I just finished moving it over to a fission base so that is all i am working on

Fast responding. Good battery life. Stable. And everything said above. And as much gingerbread stuff as possible.

It should be very fast especially since it is based off of fission which is just about as fast as roms get on the DROID2.
Battery life should be decent as well.
Gingerbread is not really my thing but there should be a fair amount of gingerbread apps included.
Thanks,

[Rom] UPDATE 5/9 Deodox, Root, De-Bloat, Zip aligned, based on 605.7

ok heres the update to this rom.
superuser no longer fcs
used bamfs 1.6.3 framework in some areas, mine in others. credit to him for the animations and other smoothness thats been added. credit to bgill for the location icon removal. credit to adrynalyne for the wake on volume key press, credit to jcase for radio settings in settings. thanks to dsb and dhemke17 for general support and issues i had as well as all the other posts and developers.
rooted
deodexed
zipaligned
tweaks to system and build.prop
STOCK kernal. choose which you prefer. i use imoseyons
[!]removed a lot of the apps and widgets. call it debloat if you want, i made the /system/ as free as possible. no facebook twitter most widgets etc. removed some sounds, all live wallpapers, all vzw apps
its lightly themed. its mostly green with some blue; high res icons.
i took most of my icons form Darkslide 4.2 for the DroidX, the Radioactive Theme for the Droid X, Gingerbread icons, Icons from torrents pirated on the bay, i think Liberty 1.5 for the DX, and some personally altered ones. other than the personally altered ones i take no credit, and for those, i also want no credit. Go to droidforums or droidxforums to find those themes i mentioned.
i kept rosie and also added launcher pro as i prefer that.
in the future i plan on themeing the browser, messaging app, gmail, and settings to mesh with the theme more.
also, credit goes to my cat, Sophie, the chicken. had she not hid under the sofa for three days when i got her, i may never have came up with a name for her, or this rom
any issues, let me know. here or through a pm. same with tips, advice, etc.
i wiped cache and dalvick. it works great from what ive ran so far. battery is dependent on the kernal, but with this so stripped down, it should help as well
i give you, SofaChicken:

here you go. its an image i took from a google search and turned it green
new rom. def better than the last. check it out!
looks good, trying now. Thanks for the work! Would help if had mirror.
Where could I get the alternative battery meter that you use or others if you have them. Great job on this ROM ive been tweaking and playing around with my home launcher for a couple weeks so I appreciated the launcher Pro packaged in with it
Whoa my ROM is still getting hits! LOL.
Switch to gb man. I can't bring myself to cook up my own gb ROM bc I've already used bamf n I'll never beat that.
Just go into framework n pull the png files I used. I got the idea from an old dx ROM, darkslide. I took out n added a few details, but my ocd needs to see 1% increments now along w other cool features the new roms have.
Maybe it's time I do make another..
When you do, if you do I will definitely give it a shot. I stopped using gingerbread radios because for some reason they never lock onto GPS right. And I couldn't find a way to get Gingerbread from chewing up my battery so bad. Froyo roms are good for battery at least for me.

[Q] favorite rom?

i need a little help, i love roms but i dont love some of the layouts and what nots
but ive been strongly looking at miui and it looks really really nice but i wanted another opinion, what rom would you recommend?
and if youre using miui whats the cons? pros??
and if you can screen shot the way you txt? thatd be awesome =]
i went from liberty to stock gb for a list of small reasons
(not to say liberty isnt awesome)
I'm personally running CM7 and it kicks ass... just hold power button for screen shot option
sent from my CM7 powered Droid X
I'm currently on Liberty. Beats stock in my opinion, but I would like to check out CM7 one day.
I am currently running MIUI 1.9.23. I love it!!
CONS:
Camera a little slow - Re-flash older camera apk
PROS:
Fast
Tons of themes
Easy customization
Weekly updates

Isn't the camera limited to 8MP with no widescreen capability? That was a show stopper for me when I tried it a couple of months ago
I am currently running MIUI 1.9.16.1 and I just love it. I have also used Liberty and CM7. Both are great but I love the battery life, customizability and smoothness of MIUI.
I just installed Cyanogenmod last night and I love it. It's fast, seems stable, and has tons of customization options. I also liked Liberty, except for the pee yellow color (I'm sure there's a theme to change that), but I wasn't a fan of MIUI. It looked very polished, but it was like some weird iPhone wannabe, and wasn't as smooth or fast as Cyanogenmod.
Which version of CM7 are you using. I'm thinking of trying it out but I'm not sure which nightly to go with.

Dunno, mine is pretty good. I also use Juice Defender which helps.
Liberty had decent battery life, but CM7 sucked when I was using it. May be they fixed it in the latest updates.

The mod version is 7.1.0-RC0 and the build number is GRH78C.
I'm personally on Liberty 0.9 Gingerbread.
While it's great for a Beta ROM, it hasn't been updated in a LONG time, and there are still some outstanding bugs that are starting to get a little annoying. It turns out one of the Devs left, and the other was planning on working on a version of the ROM called Justice based on CM7. I'd use it any day over stock, but I'd love to see some work done on it.
It looks like the DX is reaching the end of it's development sadly, too bad it didn't have a run like the OG Droid.
Anyway, for those of you using CM7, is there anything that's still not working?
Last I read, things like GPS still weren't working, which in all honesty is completely unacceptable for me. My phone is my "every" device; MP3 Player, GPS, Phone, etc etc.
How's the battery life on CM7? It's not great on Liberty, but maybe my battery is getting a bit old.

I was a firm believer in Liberty back in the day.
Then Kejar left and the team went to hell.
Liberty 0.9 is still a DECENT rom though.
Try it out if you're used to the stock experience.
But if you're feeling brave...
I was a FIRM believer in CM7 for a long while.
PROS
-Adjust screen brightness by swiping the status bar
-Take a screenshot by holding power until the option comes up
-Change songs by holding the volume button up/down while the screen is off
-Pause music with camera button while screen is off
-Tmobile themes (You don't need to flash ANYTHING to theme CM7. You simply open the "Themes" Application and swap out a new one [found in the market or online] and it themes your phone without even rebooting!) *Rebooting is recommended for most themes...but you can get the feel of a theme in 5 seconds rather than flashing it...rebooting...checking...deciding you don't like it...flash stock back...yada yada yada*
-FAST I get scores of 3000 in Quadrant running at 1.2ghz.
-%1 battery icon in the status bar (on official froyo kernel only. the "unofficial" gingerbread builds still haven't gotten this working yet).
-Yes, GPS works fine. Everything works fine.
-Lockscreen can have a separate wallpaper.
-Control bar is built into the status bar (change brightness/turn on wifi/etc)
CONS
-No HDMI (I didn't use it anyway)
-No 720p video recording
*These are both RUMORED to be being worked on. Who knows.
I recently, however switched to the newest MIUI build.
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?6392-ROM-MIUI.us-1.9.23
I recommend it HIGHLY.
PROS
-Fast, once again. Same speeds as CM7, it seems.
-THEMES. Woah buddy. Themes are a HUGE part of MIUI.
--You download themes from within a theme application...and they once again, theme your phone without the need of a reboot. The best part is, you can swap out pieces of themes for other pieces if you don't like the whole theme.
I'm rocking a theme on the status bar by one dev...a lockscreen by another...a sms by another...yada yada yada.
-Lockscreens...OMG lockscreens. The lockscreens are AWESOME. There are literally HUNDREDS of options for lockscreens. They are changed via the "themes" application...but woah buddy. These aren't just themes.
There are ICS-like lockscreens. Lockscreens that you can drag in like 10 directions depending on what application you want to open.
http://forums.miui.us/showthread.ph...s-lockscreen-theme-collection-new-theme-26-08 there are some good examples in there.
-A little-known trick...MIUI takes screenshots...faster than CM7 =]
--Hold menu+volume down = instant screenshot.
--*Holding menu+volume up = turns your brightness all the way up!
-Fastboot option (rather than a full reboot) is in the power-menu along with bootloader, full reboot, stock recovery, cwm recovery.
-Control-widget's are, again, built into the status bar (change brightness/turn on wifi/etc).
-Blacklist people from calling/texting you by simply adding them to a list available in the contacts app.
-Reply with text message to ignored calls.
-Blur-like dialer in that you can search via t9 for a contact...rather than memorizing the number or opening the contacts list.
-Lockscreens, again, can have custom wallpapers.
-If you're on your phone, a message pops up at the top of the screen when you get an sms that allows you to reply directly without closing the app you're in.
CONS
-No HDMI
-No 720p
*The 720p IS being worked on...haven't heard about the hdmi.
Thanks. I think I'll check out MIUI this weekend.
How good are they about updates?

Holy crap Kejar! I ended up with Cyanogen because Liberty was lagging behind... now I might need to switch back once it gets updated.
Can we start expecting regular updates from this point forward?
