I just noticed, blandroid rom on the rom manager menu, has anyone tried it on N1? I'm using cm7 Rc4 and I know you'll all say stick with it, but I'm still curious.

I noticed it a couple of weeks ago. It says it's a stable 2.3.3 with no bloatware. Sounds very intriguing...in fact so much so that I downloaded it, but have yet to flash it...lol.
Certainly tempting isn't it, is this a case of who goes first lmao, out of interest how big is it? I notice the cm7s are just over 80 mb.

Seems like a plain stock ROM, nice to see to be honest.
Noticed the same thing, but was wondering what all it supports, site doesn't say much. I.E. what kernel it has/supports, TB alert stuff like that.
Hopefully the dev comes and explains what all he's done.
Well, I flashed it, for like an hour then when back to cm7 using the recovery I made.
First thing, market didn't work.
Secondly it didn't have the extra apps cm7 has, which I expected, but I instantly missed theme chooser.
Thirdly it wiped my contacts list.

First. The market issue is probably a wipe issue as I had the same problem with two different MIUI GB ROMs.
Secondly. That would be the lack of bloatware mentioned above. It's like stock android, so not sure why you even flashed it if you wanted bloatware.
Thirdly. It didn't wipe your contact list you didn't sync with google, becaue all of your contacts are backed up there.
You know what, I knew that'd be the replies I got, to be honest I'm curious of any rom that 1might increase battery life, currently using 85% over 10hours!! And of course the dreaded wonk which is seemingly inherent with cm7.
I couldn't force Google to sync with my phone, all my contacts are stored with Google you're right there.
Btw how would I get the market back?

I think it is another keyboard app. When you go to change the keyboard, it lists something in all Asian symbols.
I just deleted it and I have not noticed any difference with how blandroid runs.
The wonk was almost fixed on latest release of cm7. If you don't have the latest version, try it.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Nearly fixed isn't fixed. The problem is really dragging out and these stock ROMs are showing that its fixed with them. Wonking isn't the only issue at the moment either. There is still problems with the sound levels after docking the phone sometimes where its maximum level is halved etc.
CM is an ace project and I truly respect the guys and their efforts behind it, but CM7 is very buggy, and when it starts to affect the ability to take calls its hard to use it.
Oh! Thx for the reply. I got scared and ran back to cm7

Went for this until the CM stable kills the wonk; now I may not go back. I haven't used it for long enough to know about stability. I think of it as pure AOSP, but already rooted (and a just a few essential CM goodies).

So far, I haven't found anything missing I need.
And if you want a bit more eye candy and customization, just install launcher pro or adw.launcher from the market.
I give it thumbs-up!

1. The downloads app shows up in the app drawer.
2. When holding the power button and selecting shut down, the phone is put into hibernate mode. Pressing the power button to turn it back on yields very very short 2 second boot time. Do a battery pull to compare boot times. Option to turn this off is in Setting >> Applications
3. You must do a battery pull, hold down on the volume rocker, and then power to boot up into bootloader mode.
4. The animations are much smoother and different now.
5. When you receive a new message, a green and black number notificiation shows up on the messages icon on the homescreen.
6. The phone has just overall been going quicker.
Let me know if you guys noticed anything else?

Why run this Rom when cm7s been on gb for months?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I don't remember the original ROM having a restart option....
The "downloads" app has always been in the apps drawer on every gingerbread rom. Its a cool feature but it's useless unless you use the stock browser, I wish you could use it with any browser.
I tried CM7 a few times and it always ran like crap after about 12-24 hours and I had to take it off. I flashed OMFGB like two days ago and it runs great, except that it doesn't like to display my widgets some times (I'm using ADW EX).
I'm tempted to try out the leak, but I think I'll wait a few days until it gets tweaked more and/or has Sense >=2.0
OP, in regards to your hibernation question. There should be an option somewhere in the settings that allows you to enable/disable Fastboot. It's sort of like a hot restart.

In my experience, this leak has been running much smoother for me than CM and the battery life is better.

some people like sense over ASOP. Gingerbread and sense seems like a good combination to me
well, i noticed everything you did but one other also... NETFLIX ISNT WORKING!!!! is there any way to fix this? it doesnt seem to work with any sense+gingerbread combos as im running the Kingdom rom and it still doesnt work any ideas?

The leak has been great for me! Runs so much better than froyo did. Really smooth animations, and I like the fast boot option
Anyone else's Swype not working with the leak? That sucks. It does run well but I can't wait for the developers to get to work on it, and why no Sense 2.0?
sloow
I wish I knew why gingerbread/sense 3.0 is running so slow for me, Im killing off
Apps but I can barley squeeze out 100mb free memory...could this be a kernel
Holdup?
netflix seems to be having issues with other devices as well.
Something that I noticed is in froyo when I am in the messaging app and the screen times out I don't recieve notifications but I do with the update. Not sure if this is a setting I missed in 2.2 but either way I'm glad it works now.
FYI I use the stock messaging app and realize if I used Handcent it would not have been an issue but I prefer the stock app.
anyone else having an issue with Google Talk not working? It force-closes every time when trying to launch. Anybody know of a fix? Other than that, loving the Gingerbread experience so far.

Yup I did a fresh install. I have both the ripple lock and the agile lock (sense 3.0) and they both do the same. I found out that they ado work but to I have to use the volume to show unlock (weird) If I hit the power button nothing happens at all.
Been using it for about an hour now...so far so good. No problems and as fast and lite as I remember.
Gonna stick with it as my normal runner if no issues creep up.

To be honest with you I only tried CM7 for about an hour. I just didnt like the look and layout, plus it seems like it comes with so much more things installed (bloat to me). During that hour it did not feel any faster nor smoother than Oxygen. Been using Oxygen since 2.2.1 till now and I have NEVER got a reboot or freeze. Check it out man, you wont be dissapointed.

Thanks for the fix. What about the percentage for the battery? Is it not on this one? Or is there a setting that needs to be messed with?
Thanks again
OK, so I've been running this ROM since the day it came out and I completely love it. The theme is fantastic, the battery life is amazing, and it's pretty darn smooth. Even though it's tough to find fault with the build, I will offer up the few issues/requests I've experienced over the last week or so (prioritized).
1. I can't install different kernels. I've tried Ziggy and Imoseyon(sp?)'s latest, and each hangs after the HTC screen.
2. I get FC's on D7 Reader and Dolphin Browser. They're few and far between, so it's only a minor inconvinence. Plus, I have no way to confirm it's ROM related.
3. There's a slight overlap in the header of the Mail.apk (where it says All Messages). Obviously very minor.
4. I'd like to see a flashable zip to disable the volume rocker wake; I know most like it but I use Widgetlocker so it just wreaks havok in my pocket.
5. Would like battery percentage and removal of GPS icon.
6. Can we add some ability to modify the quick settings? I personally don't use Power Efficiency and would like Brightness Level and Flashlight integrated.
7. 7 in 1 and 4 in 1 Power and Reboot menus.
8. Every now and then Exchange has issues syncing. It repeats syncing over and over until I reboot. It's only happened a couple times, and may HTC's issue, not the ROM's.
Like I said, I love this ROM and can't see a reason to leave it (unless someone gets data working on ICS). The above list is just some personal desires. Notice that I haven't said anything is broken or sluggish or ugly. Again, this ROM is great and I'd recommend it to anyone. Thanks for all the great work fkfmfz, I'll be donating shortly...

Couple of tips.
- Don't like the Market spewing new apps on your home screen? Just disable it in the settings.
- The persistant search bar can be disabled in Trebuchet's settings.
- Nova Launcher is an alternate to Trebuchet. I'm using it. It has a couple of useful features, like grid size. You can also disable widgets in the drawer, and get your standard long-press menu back. I highly recommend doing this if you use Beautiful Widgets, as that will spam up your widget drawer. Use AppWidgetPicker 2.0 pushed to /system/app to take care of this.
- Want your 4G toggle? There's a widget for it. It'll show up in the quick panel later.
Unfortunately, the voice actions are not available as of yet. Voice Search can be downloaded from the Market, but the speech-to-text as demonstrated on the GNexus is nowhere to be seen. It's an upstream issue.

I haven't explored VVM yet, but will post when I've got something. EDIT: As of right now, VVM is just plain not happening. I switched to Google Voice, which works well at the moment.
I love it. It doesn't feel like an alpha. The only feature I hate is that the cancel and ok buttons have switched so the cancel button is now on the left side and ok is on the right side. I keep cancelling when I think I'm pressing ok because I'm used to the other way.
Not that I won't get used to it.
I think the whole launch was beautifully executed, the only thing keeping me from staying on CM9 at the moment is that I cant restore the data from my apps.
The soft keyboard is a pain and I can't figure out how to set a static IP for wifi. Battery percentage doesn't work. I like how the LED notifications are fixed and how haptic feedback is back and working way better. The ROM overall is very fast. I backed up all my apps and contacts/SMS with mybackup pro and everything works perfect! Has anybody figured out how to get visual voicemail working?

It's a legitimate request I've seen before. I mean, why let your old devices just waste away when your children or family members could totally use them as dirt cheap replacements for iPods and such. You don't want them making accidental emergency calls or circumventing the settings you put in place.

Maybe this is a project for some of the budding devs on xda. In theory, it sounds like a simple change. Simply remove the phone aspects of a rom and repackage. I'm sure it's harder than it sounds in terms of stability and usability though (I'm not a dev) =/

Eh, some apps certainly wouldn't work, anything that needs to communicate through telephony and such. But really shouldn't be that difficult.
I'll come back when I'm not too terribly busy with some links about breaking down and customizing ROMs and such. I know that I've found a thread specifically for this kind of thing for another device, but there are a few of them I read up on so it may take a while to locate. Hell, you could just about remove the phone and contacts apps and edit your build.prop and leave an existing ROM intact. I'm no dev or anything though lol so I'll look around.

I know that I've found a thread specifically for this kind of thing for another device, but there are a few of them I read up on so it may take a while to locate. Hell, you could just about remove the phone and contacts apps and edit your build.prop and leave an existing ROM intact. I'm no dev or anything though lol so I'll look around.

TeamDRH over in the gTablet forums have added something similar to this into their ICS ROM for gTablet. Might be a useful place to look.
Ok well.I went and remove like all telephony apk in my Rom and some app don't work like he said

Not the OG article I had read, but after a bit of Googling I came up with a script that you should be able to set to run at boot which will disable your radio.
You may also be able to dial *#*#INFO#*#* and choose turn off radio, but that will not be persistent across reboots. I would use the script and a third-party launcher that can hide apps so that you'll keep the phone and contacts apps and such for stability, but not have them readily available.
*EDIT:
And a flashable zip! Thank you jellybellys!
**EDIT:
Just to elaborate about that flashable zip, it will actually "permanently" (until you wipe and install another ROM) disable the radio and clean out the apps that you don't want. Also installs some kind of binaries if they're currently absent from the ROM. Great find, I'm glad you asked about this!
exactly, my first thought would be just to use titanium backup and disable/freeze but not remove apps such as dialer or what you dont want/need. not sure if this will work but its worth a try. probably a few treads across xda on this (especially on older model phones) id search in those and see if there is a quick answer short of developing a whole new rom
Yeah I use that zip from jellybean but like android.process forced close alone with like sms app this is all on miui

So you used the zip, and once booted those processes were force closing?
I'll try it out on my phone, see if I can't replicate the issue and speak with the dev. Exactly what MIUI build are you on?
*EDIT:
Installed on EliteMod 120316 and upon first boot did get something about the mms process FC'ing. Upon subsequent reboots no more message though, have you tried another reboot? You had two processes FC?

This is a swing in the dark...
Try remove htcril.so or libhtcril.so from system/lib.... That should disable the radio and keep Wi-Fi

So that's the MIUI.us "Pure English?" I've just downloaded the last available build and will soon flash and then install jellybellys's zip. I'm hoping that will get me the same FC's as you are.
Once you've gotten home after the weekend, try rebooting it a time or two and see if it consistently gives you the FC's.
Also, just curious, but are you using MIUI just because it's the most similar Android overlay to iOS? To make it a bit easier for your friend? Because you could hook him up with some ICS goodness otherwise
*EDIT:
Ok, looking through his updater-script vs. my /system/app/ directory, it looks like MIUI names a couple of apk's differently. I'm currently installing a fresh MIUI so that I can see the directory before moddified by the OG jellybellys zip, then I'll update his zip to reflect those different names and try to run it again. If successful, I'll post the modified file and hopefully we can get your friend a fun little multi-tasking media player
Ok sweet umm can u send me the edit zip

Had a good look at the flashable zip, very simple. I need to learn to code, I guess this is a good small place to start lol
All I did was unzip his file, change a few things and added a couple extra lines to remove one more app he hadn't worried with. As said above this will disable your radio, install the radiooptions binary if absent, and remove a number of apk's from the /system/app/ directory.
Removed apps:
TelephonyProvider.apk - cellular service
TelocationProvider.apk - emergency location service (I just don't see the need if you're not connecting to cellular networks)
Phone.apk - your phone app - should also get rid of dialer, I'm trying to find out why it doesn't.
Mms.apk - messaging app
All credit to jellybellys @ rootzwiki.com of course, I couldn't have written this myself or anything.

Again, the phone app will still be on the homescreen and you actually can't remove it. It won't dial anything, and will just cause the acore process to FC if you try. It's looking like the only way to get it really removed is to modify the ROM's zip so that it never installs the app to begin with.
I'm going to restore the apps again, see if Titanium Backup can't do a better job than outright removing the app does.
