Hi
I had the day off, and decided to have a play with the Kitchen to see what I could come up with. After following the instructions on theunlockr.com I decided to base my rom on the OpenFire v.2.3 rom. Any issues that rom had, mine will have.
I have added a few things and changed a couple of things, but in the end, this is my first rom for a device I do not have myself. I have an HTC Desire, but noticed that the Wildfire isn't getting as much love, hence that choice. I hope to get a better understanding of what it takes to make a proper custom rom at some time in the future.
Removed:
Launcher2
Added:
Launcher Pro
Titanium Backup
Rom Manager
Fancy Widget
From the OpenFire v.2.3 post:
NO HTC APPS DO NOT WORK ON THIS ROM AND I WONT TRY TO PORT THEM (but if you try and suceed please tell me and I will maybe include them!)
This ROM is from the android source there is no HTC apps or extra apps from the start it do come with spareparts and dev tools from android source. At the moment it seems a bit slow I think that is due to animations, animations can be turned of in spareparts or in the settings menu.
Features:
- Froyo aosp 2.2.1
- Root + superuser app
- Busybox
- No htc apps!
- Some google apps
- Multi language
- Darktremor Apps2SD
- Patched market
- Usb & WIFI-thetering
- JIT
- 3 in 1 reboot menu
- It may make your phone explode! (You have been warned)
Bugs / Not working:
- Video recording working (but, bad quality)
- Cant import contacts from SIM ? no read/write acess to SIM ? (can anyone confirm or deny this?)
TODO:
- Get rid of above bugs
- HTC-camera (maybe)
Thanks to:
HCDR.Jacob - for the kernel and vendor
Yopsi - for sharing package with google apps.
danne_jo - for APN stuff, and for hosting to my ROM
Sympnotic - For his patched market app
AnantK123 - For pointing out a fix for the camera app
acavella - For hosting / making a homepage dedicated just for OpenFire
Notes:
NO HTC APPS DO NOT WORK ON THIS ROM AND I WONT TRY TO PORT THEM (but if you try and suceed please tell me and I will maybe include them!)
To get app2sd to work you need an ext partition when you have that you might have todo a full wipe and reflash the ROM to get app2sd to work
When you boot up first time choose "com.android.provision"
Anything you want to know about OpenFire can be found at the OpenFire website.

What did you change? We don't need roms like those. Everyone can customize his installed rom like he wants.
Why don't you stick to a phone you have and help projects that just need help instead of reinventing the wheel over and over again?
no offense, just my personal oppinion

None taken.
I've had my desire for a while, and decided to root it about a month ago. I have now installed a custom rom, and I'm enjoying the fiddling around. I don't have too much knowledge, apart from experiences gained in the last week or so.
I tried talking a colleague into installing a custom rom, but he said there weren't too many for the Wildfire, so I said I'd have a play. I'm treating it as a learning curve, as I've always been interested in programming, but never really had the time. I have created a (very) small program for the Mac, and have written a few batch files but thats as far as I've taken it.
In an afternoon I've set up a Linux VM, installed all the needed software and had a play to see what I can realistically do. I see this as a first step. I'm trying to talk the wife into a Wildfire so I can have one to play with!
If the consensus is I should delete the thread, then so be it.

FAQ:Q: What was the difference between the standard and enhanced versions of Liberation?
A: In simple terms, Liberation Enhanced was deodexed, while the standard version was not. However, since the Gingerbread update, HTC has deodexed the /system/app folder, but has left framework odexed. I've decided to just deodex everything instead of having two separate versions with minimal differences in available storage, but vast differences in customization.
Q: Why is the Android Market outdated!?
A: If I insert the latest market, it won't update on its own, meaning more work for you. The version of the market I'm using is outdated, but auto updates. It will update in the background the first time that you run it, and should be updated within 2-5 minutes depending on your connection. You'll need to exit and re-launch the Market for the update to take effect.
Q: Some of my Google Apps (such as Gmail) are an old version, but don't show up on the Market as installed or needing an update. How do I fix this?
A: This is a bug or "feature" of the stock ROM, I'm not sure which. However, it as a very easy fix. Simply open Gmail from the Android Market. From there, scroll down to "Developer Info" and select "View Applications." This will display all of Google's apps in the market. Scroll down and update every app that shows as needing an update (they'll all display correctly from here). You may also want to disable automatic updates from here.
Q: Why isn't <insert app here> removed, I consider it to be bloat!
A: HTC did their best to put together an experience utilizing their Sense software. I left that intact as every user will get something out of it. Some use Friend Stream. Some use only Facebook/Twitter/Flickr. There is no perfect combination as every user wants something different. My goal was to present a stock experience without the carrier bloat. There are ways for you to remove unwanted apps yourself if you'd like.
Q: Why aren't there any screen shots?
A: It's a stock ROM. I've done nothing to differentiate this ROM in appearance from what your carrier/OEM ships.
How to customize Liberation BEFORE you flash:
Materials
Windows - 7-ZIP
Linux - nothing
Mac OS X - nothing (note, I have not done this on Mac OS X, so I cannot support this OS)
Steps
Download the above mentioned file(s) for Windows. You can use a different archive manager if you'd like, but my guide is based on using 7-ZIP.
On your desktop, create a folder named "Test." You can name it whatever you want, but I'll be referring to it as "Test" in this guide. If you are new at this, you need to follow the guide to the letter.
Find your downloaded ROM and extract it to the Test folder. The easiest way to do this on Windows is to open the ROM, highlight all of the folders/files (CTRL-A), copy (CTRL-C), then open the Test folder and paste (CTRL-V). Give it a minute to extract the contents.
Once you complete step three, modify the ROM to your hearts content (see details below). Once complete, proceed to step five.
Open the Test folder and highlight everything (CTRL-A). Right click and select "Add to Archive." This will open 7-ZIP's archive manager. On Linux or Mac OS X, just right-click (or equivalent) and select "Compress."
In the options menu that comes up, leave everything at default except the following. The filename should be Test.zip (change Test to whatever you want). Archive format should be zip. Compression level should be ultra. That's it.
Once done, you can copy this zip to your SD card and flash as normal. Keep in mind that I am not responsible for any changes that you made in this ROM, so make sure you Nandroid BEFORE you flash.
Specific Modifications (using the above instructions):
Ringtones - While the ROM is unzipped, open the test folder and look for /system/media/audio. Within this folder you'll see several more folders (Ringtones, Alarms, Notifications). Any should files you put here will show up in the system when you go to change your ringtone (or whatever corresponds to the folder). The benefits to this modification include; no storage space used up in internal, phone, or SD storage; ringtone works even if SD is USB mounted, no errors when the SD card corrupts or is in use. The ringtones (alarms/notifications) are stored in a partition that does NOT count towards your file storage
Replacement "stock" applications - If you use a differnent web browser (like Dolphin HD or Firefox), or a different SMS/MMS program (like Handcent or Chomp), then it is recommended that you remove the stock applications before flashing. This prevents conflicts, slowdown, memory usage, and the annoying popup where you have to constantly re-choose your default application. In these examples, you are looking for /system/app/browser.apk and mms.apk.
Add/Remove apps you don't want - Navigate to /system/app, and remove any APK files that you don't want. If you don't know what app it is, do NOT remove it
Modify Bootup Animation/Sound - Navigate to the /system/customize/resource/ folder. In there, you will see two files; VZW_bootanimation.zip an VZW_Droid.mp3. These files are the bootup animation and "Droid" noise. Simply delete the MP3 if you want a silent bootup. It really is that easy. Replace the ZIP File with another zipped animation (must give it the same name) to replace the animation with one of your own. NOTE: Make sure you verify compatibility. If unsure, don't do it.
Files needed for UOT Kitchen:
Download - framework-res.apk
Download - com.htc.resource.apk
Download - SystemUI.apk
The above files are needed for the UOT Kitchen. Ask questions in this thread if don't know how to use them. UOT Kitchen allows you to change visual elements of your phone's stock interface in a way that no launcher app ever could.

I agree.
I would love to see a ROM of yours based off of the Gingerbread Leak.
Nothing Special is the fastest and most stable ROM out. Hands Down.
I use it as my Daily Driver in a business setting and its perfect.

Liberation is uploading right now, should be available in a few minutes. Enhanced is still cooking, might be another 30 minutes or so. As for the "cool idea," this is actually just a renamed update to an existing ROM. See below.

I'm cooking Liberation Enhanced right now, then I'll immediately start playing with the leak. We've seen a few developers upload flashable versions already. I can't commit that I'll release anything on this leak at this point. Let me play with it some and then I'll comment on it.
Both 1.0 ROMs are up based on the November OTA. Currently toying with the leak, will update.
Re-cooking then uploading the beta for 2.00 based on today's Gingerbread leak. Use at your own risk.
I agree with tincbtrar.
Liberation Enhanced v2.00 BETA, based on today's Gingerbread leak, is now up. Use at your own risk.

Downloading now, Thanks.
I'm liking some of the changes. Reboot time (after initial flash) is insanely fast. HTC Car Panel now works in both portrait/landscape, however, most other apps still don't. Feels smoother than 2.2 (and I just did clean flashes of all of my ROMs, it's definitely smoother).
Let me know what you think, but so far, feels good for a beta. I'll make it my daily driver for the next few days and see what happens.
Downloading the beta now. Already a few out there, but I know you put out good work, and it's the slimmest so far. Fingers crossed, already put the new radio on. This is great! Long live the Incredible!
Will definatly give this a try when I get home.
Only thing that stinks is the cool mods (Pulldown Toggles, EVO Camera, ETC) wont work with the beta correct? Those pulldown toggles are amazing for me (Flashlight, Bluetooth and Sounds - especially)
Once that gets sorted out Ill be using your beta. Until then maybe ill flash Liberation for fun.
Great work sir.
Is 2.0 deodexed?

Just an FYI, it works fine with the existing radio. I won't be pushing users to update radio/hboot/etc. until the official release comes out.

I'm going to work on getting an Evo camera working for it. As for flashing Liberation, it's just Nothing Special under a new name (and the minor change of Car Home switched for Car Panel). All of the mods you used on NS will work here

Hi, I'm a Korean Developer.
Recently Samsung has released android 5.0 lollipop for our devices.
But most of you may be ambarrased because the lollipop upgrade changed lots of things in system.
So I researched few days about it, and I've got several informations.
All of what I explain here is the result of my experiments.
In developers discussing forum, famous developers were discussing about "How we can mod lollipop system files".
Thanks to qwerty123258, Softdx's lollipop de-odexing tool has been known to here. But the problem is that how to re-odex the de-odexed apps,frameworks.
As our common sense, ART doesn't support de-odexed apks,jars so we have to re-odex them. But many of you may think we can't re-odex animore with the way we have used.
I agreed it at first.
So I've heard that de-odexed SecSettings,SystemUI apk with Softdx's tool don't work and have FCs. Thinking like this, we can think there is no solution. Especially, lots of custom ROM developers cannot make ROM without smali modding.
BTW, I saw that mods for nexus devices' lollipop are mostly de-odexed. But there is no problem.
Hold on, the ART definitely doesn't support de-odexed mods, but why mods for nexus doesn't have matter? You may think this doesn't make sense.
So I had doubt to this 'common thinks'.
And one day, I was putting Galaxy Note3's apps into my system that worked on KK.
FlashAnnotate app had FC, and Action memo popup also had FC. But the main app and widget of Action memo worked well.
Moreover, SuperSU that I used when rooting my S5 was also de-odexed app.
Isn't it strange to say "ART doesn't support de-odexed"? So I thought that Google didn't fully removed dalvik, they just inactivated it.
So I replaced the FlashAnnotate app with the one for Note4, and it worked well.
Then I put Note4's apps like S Note, Weather Widget, etc. As I expected, all of them worked with no FC!
Thus, it is wrong to say that the ART doesn't support de-odexed. It is the problem of that app.
What problem?
I asked to one of my friend, a Note3 mod-developer. He said that stock Note3 doesn't support ART natively.
This means that the developers of Note3's stock apps didn't care ART.
It has the same principle with the issue that the old version of stock apps like S health have FC on Galaxy S5 lollipop.
The structure of app's source code have to match with ART's structure.
In short, de-odexing have no relation with ART. FC issue is the compatibility issue of that app.
So the apps of after-KK-released-devices can be worked whether it is de-odexed or not.
Is this mean apps with FC cannot be used on lollipop? No. We can modify it to match with ART's structure. I mean, we can port it as API21(lollipop).
Let me pass to the other subject.
Most of you may think that re-odexing as the way we used, extracting dalvik-cache in the phone cannot be used and we must convert it as oat.
But, I re-odexed the main app of Action memo,what worked well even it was de-odexed, as the way we used.
It also works well while it is re-odexed.
Therefore, we can re-odex apps with the way we used.
BTW, as mentioned before, stock Settings and SysUI don't work when they're de-odexed and re-odexed.
It doesn't make sense according to the theories before. Then, what's the problem?
There is one that most of you may overlooked.
When you're de-odexing with Softdx's tool, generally most of you may think converting oat to dex is important and baksmaling/smaling process must be worked well.
But the problem was in baksmaling/smaling process.
When I was de-odexing stock settings app with Softdx's tool,
(look at the attached 1.png because I cannot insert image)
There were errors on smaling process. But I've never modded any smali of it.
When I looked the codes that made errors, not recognizing the '+'s on the pswitch code.
(look at the attached 2.png because I cannot insert image)
like this.
Many smali modders may know that there was no '+' on pswitch code when modding smali of KK or lower versions.
But after I remove all that '+', it can be compiled well but it has FC. Why? literally "It was modded".
It is reasonable to have FC because it was "modded", not compiled without modifications.
We can think of these two cases:
1. The structure of app's source code was entirely changed, so the last (bak)smali tool cannot recognize changed codes.
2. The structure of app's dex was entirely changed, so vanished parts are made when baksmaling with last tool.
We can conclude with these two cases.
After the release of (bak)smali tool that can completely baksmali/smali, we can do modifications.
I've heard that the developer of apktool is going to release new version for lollipop. So we have to wait a little bit.
Although we cannot do smali modding yet, we can put apks in system.
Why don't you put several apps in system and confirm what works or not?
Anyway, Thank you for reading my bad English...ahaha
If you have another opinion for my think, reply it.
Wow really much thnx for this!!
Hi all,
Today, I proudly present GomdoLight KitKat for KOREAN LG G / G2 / G3 / G3A / G3cat6 / Gflex / GK / Gpro / Gpro2 / LTE3 / Vu2 / Vu3 / Gpad7LTE, one of the most widely used (with 20,000+ users approximately) stock-based custom firmware in South Korea.
GomdoLight is more than 3 year old already (first version released on 19th December 2012), and is very mature.
Technically speaking GomdoLight is NOT a complete ROM, but rather a large-scale patch, which modifies official stock firmware to remove all the unnecessary components preloaded by operator/manufacturer, and reorganizes key system parts to 'basic' Android OS with manufacturer's flavor. For some devices GomdoLight's own specialized tool 'GomdoLight Sideloader' can make it possible to install GomdoLight directly over the stock firmware, even without rooting or flashing custom recovery!
GomdoLight is compatible with the following devices (BOLD indicates GomdoLight Sideloader support - no root required)
LG Optimus G: LG-F180S, LG-F180K, LG-F180L ("G")
LG G2: LG-F320S, LG-F320K, LG-F320L ("G2")
LG G3: LG-F400S, LG-F400K, LG-F400L ("G3")
LG G3A: LG-F410S ("G3A")
LG G3 Cat.6: LG-F460S, LG-F460K, LG-F460L ("G3")
LG G Flex: LG-F340S, LG-F340K, LG-F340L ("Gflex")
LG GK: LG-F220K ("GK")
LG G Pro: LG-F240S, LG-F240K, LG-F240L ("Gpro")
LG G Pro 2: LG-F350S, LG-F350K, LG-F350L ("Gpro2")
LG Gx: LG-F310L, LG-F310LR ("Gx")
LG Optimus LTE3: LG-F260S ("LTE3")
LG Optimus Vu2: LG-F200S, LG-F200K, LG-F200L ("Vu2")
LG Vu 3: LG-F300S, LG-F300K, LG-F300L ("Vu3")
LG G Pad 7.0 LTE: LG-V410 ("Gpad7LTE")
A very thorough and extensive (probably, the most extensive on entire xda) manual is provided at the download page, which contains literally everything you need to know to install GomdoLight. FAILURE TO READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE INSTALLING WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO VARIOUS UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Needless to say, I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ALREADY ADDRESSED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
Due to xda forum's limits (in functionality) I am posting a link to the separate (external) DOWNLOAD PAGE. There is no way I can link to each section in the document in xda posts, since xda does not support HTML tag. However some portions of the document are also introduced here.

I'm not sure yet, but it may not be necessary. Because gomdolight is a large-scale patch mainly focusing on script-driven features, just three of system apks are overwritten:
- /system/framework/framework-res.apk
- /system/priv-app/LGSystemUI.apk
- /system/priv-app/LGCameraApp.apk
Camera should be compatible for all variants, and only the FRAMEWORK RESOURCE and the SYSTEM UI might have compatibility issue.
You can first take a Nandroid backup, and try installing GomdoLight all the way to the end over your stock firmware, and see if it boots (and operates without crashes)
For model selection just choose LG-F340K.
1) If it works well: CONGRATULATIONS! You have fully-working GomdoLight.
2) If it fails: Restore Nandroid, and reinstall GomdoLight. However this time choose the 4TH option for battery percentage indicator. (Do not change) This options leaves both framework-res and SystemUI unchanged, so it will work 100%.

do they CONSISTENTLY force close by certain actions? or just randomly?
I'm downloading now and will test it for the D95920s firmware. T-Mobile D959 on the latest KitKat 4.4.2 D95920s. Will report back later. I need my phone till at least 4pm central time so I can reach my son but I'll flash after that.
This intrigues me. Sprint supported? I don't feel like dealing with force closes mentioned in previous post in different variant.

good luck. if it crashes revert to stock via nandroid backup and reinstall gomdolight, this time choosing the 4th option (do not overwrite the status bar) with battery percentage indicator.

probably. the script set is practically compatible with all current LGE devices with JB or KK. only few apks should be troublesome.
if not sure, choose not to change the status bar during installation. then it will not overwrite both framework-res and systemui.

Don't you see messages like 'GomdoLight: System starting up'?
You usually don't see visible differences after installing GomdoLight, especially on non-Korean firmware, since it does not know what apps to debloat. You would have to debloat the system yourself. However its extensive startup script set provides very unique and useful functions. These functions are explained in the simplified user manual that is automatically displayed after installing. If you did not see the manual opening, and if you do not see the startup messages either, probably something is wrong.

I seen all the startups and everything. Gomdo warning of superuser, a major lag on my phone for abot 3-5 minutes of lag. It only uninstalled vutalj. I honestly havent noticed anything special. I even tried it with that status bar selection and it went through fine.

gomdolight's optimizations are not much visually noticable, without drastic changes. if you expect a whole new experience this is not your type of rom.
or, you could install another stock-based rom that will bring significant changes, and install gomdolight over it (without status bar selection) to further aid with its performance.
think gomdolight as a special tool to streamline and 'properly' reorganize the stock firmware (or, stock-based roms). changes are not noticable at first sight, but they surely benefit the user somehow in the long run, and give you better control and (sometimes) superior disaster handling capabilities.
anyway, thank you for letting me know that selecting LGU+ model increases compatibility with non-Korean firmwares.

JBNCK One UI ExperienceGet the JBNCK One UI Experience on your Samsung Phone without root. Works best on Galaxy A-Series phones running Android 11 or 12Features- Debloated and clean (pleasant for the eyes, fun to use and allows for 2-day battery life)*
- Privacy (RethinkDNS [DNS + Firewall] and Privacy indicators included)**
- Degoogled*** (removed the majority of Google apps, replaced Play Store client [AuroraStore], possibility to add Nextcloud accounts [Nextcloud app required] or other accounts for contacts and calendar syncing, included Chromium)
- Advanced tweaking (SystemUI Tuner included)Installation ****For best results, make sure your device is freshly set up. If it isn't, create a backup (on anything but Google (WhatsApp backup is fine) or Samsung since those sync adapters will be removed) and perform a factory reset. Otherwise it may break your setup and you might end up with a chaotic system which defeats the whole purpose of the project xD
To start the installation, download the newest release and unzip the file. On your phone, make sure you have USB debugging enabled. After enabling USB debugging connect your phone to your computer via a USB cable and execute the script (there are 3 files, choose the one that suits your operating system). If you're on Linux, make sure to allow execution of the adb binary and the debloat script. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just open a terminal in the extracted folder and execute the following command:
Code:
chmod -R 777 *

I will send you a command to get the app back since it has probably been removed by the script. I hope you know how to execute adb commands.Read this before you scream in the commentsSome features will get broken by the debloating process. This is completely normal so don't flip out when you see a settings toggle doing nothing. If you want to get a feature back, ask me.
* - battery life may/will depend on your phone model and installed apps
** - both need to be set up first. Also make sure to enable always on VPN for RethinkDNS
*** - critical system apps as well as Google Play Services cannot be removed without root. The script still installs GBoard (the lite version without stickers and unnecessary online content) and Google Messages (for a better RCS integration)
**** - adb will be blocked by MacOS by default. You can unblock it in the security tab in the settings app
Script tested on Galaxy A51 5G (SM-A516B), Galaxy A50 (SM-A505FN) and Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (SM-P610).
Works best on A-Series devices running Android 11 and 12 It is recommended to disable battery optimization for SystemUI tuner, Account Manager (syncing client for Nextcloud [Nextcloud app required] and other online accounts)) and Aurora Store. Also make sure to enable always on VPN for RethinkDNS.
Screenshots below.
Screenshots:To be added soonBugs:- Keyboard needs to be enabled manually (Settings > General Management > Default keyboard > enable OpenBoard)
Hello I just wanted to say that I love your one ui experience project and that I am the first person to ever star you're project on github.com and will probably be the first to contribute to your project on github.com.
You're script will also work from a Linux computer right?
I have just created a PR on github that fixed a flaw that was at the start of every single line of code in all 3 scripts I tested all 3 and they did literally nothing at all except show errors before this change to the scripts. Youre welcome. I look forward to contributing more to this amazing project in the future.

If you're on Linux like me, you have to change the permissions to 755 (open a terminal in this folder and simply type 'chmod -R 755 *'). This will allow the script and the adb binary to be executed. The message "errors are normal just ignore them" refers to errors like "Package not installed for 0" which are completely normal since not every phone has the same bloatware. Thank you for contributing though!

The script mostly just uninstalls pre-packaged bloatware that comes with One UI and installs 4 to 5 new apps I ran it on my phone therefore it should also work on one ui 4.1

Hello janboygamer23 I see on your readme on github it says that the experience would be bad if not run on a fresh install. I don't think that's true because all your script does mostly is uninstall tons of packages and install 4 or 5

The uninstallation of these apps is the problem. If you already have everything set up removing all of the bloat can break and mess some things like apps linked to google play for example paid apps, thats why its always better to run debloat script directly after the initial setup. Its really just a recommendation/warning and you can do what you want with it, just be advised that things may break

A OneUI 4 version will be pushed in the next couple of days. Im running a private version of the script on oneui 4 and it works perfectly. I still need to do some adjustments and i will upload it on github soon

Hello JanBoy, good work!
But I would like to keep the Google Play Store (no AuroraStore). Could you make a version of it or say what does not have to be uninstalled (.bat) / installed (APK) in the script to have full Play Store access?
Many greetings
Frank

You can execute the following command to get the play store back:
adb shell pm install-existing com.android.vending
After that, you can simply uninstall AuroraStore and you should be good to go!
New version coming today!Since I still go to school I wasn't able to actively work on the script but now that the school year is almost over, I can publish a new version which works for Android 12.

Thank you for your "quick" reply.
But since nothing is happening in the A51-Scene with updated Custom-ROMs, I flashed the latest Stock-ROM (Android 12) and debloated it myself ;o)

Sorry for being inactive for a bit, the school year is almost over and I had a lot of exams but I'm done now
New release!!!Major update to the script (One UI 4(.1) is now officially supported)!- Less stuff is getting installed (Messages, Keyboard and Weather are not being replaced anymore)
- More bloatware is getting removed
- Ungoogled chromium for Android has been abandoned so I replaced it with normal chromium, should still be more private than Chrome
- Animation speed adjustments
- /e/-Accounts have been replaced with DAVx5 to allow more nextcloud servers to be synced (Nextcloud app required)
Go check it out here:
