Install & Notes
- You must start with a 'clean' install (a factory reset is not enough).

- Radio files included; T-Mobile 850, 1700, 2100MHz .
-- Use Basebandswitcher in /sdcard/bb_extras to change radio to your region; (http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html).

- GPS NTP servers set to North America.
-- Open /system/etc/gps.conf and edit the ntp servers in this file to your region; (http://www.pool.ntp.org/).

- CM7 requires a Froyo kernel; while CM9 requires a Gingerbread kernel.
-- Flash the correct kernel immediately after installing a nightly build or restoring a nandroid; before rebooting.

haven't tried it yet but it looks really impressive. Still some thinks I would change and will put back into this rom, because I think it is a little bit TOO slim, but this is everybody's own decision.

looks really nice and will be tested on the weekend.

pinkllama · Mar 3, 2011

looks promising.

a couple of questions; you've removed conversations.apk and messaging.apk. what sms app does your rom use?

i can see that you have removed talk.apk. isn't it needed to be on the phone to access the market?

chaihg · Mar 3, 2011

Good job. Thanks for that tutorial on knocking off some cmg. Can you by any chance tell us how to make those boot only files that other mods put up. It really helps to downgrade that way. I will try this once I am back home from work.
cheers

Filipitripi · Mar 3, 2011

Very clean Rom, at the moment all work for me, market work perfectly, i will test sms and this evening...

Maybe if you dont do a factory reset before installing the rom (rom does a reset before anyways). So if Talk is setup in the first place its required (I'm guessing), but so far without it works fine. Added screenshot above of market with paypal on screen.

Also tiggggr is right, the messaging apps where replaced with a stock MMS app.

If your talking about things like the Android 2.2.1 - 3.4.2-107 TMobile US modified bootloader. No idea, this flashing method I dicuss does not use/make a modified bootloader. Its just removing the Froyo bootloader and system partitions from the sbf.

Please test Youtube videos on High Quality if you dont mind.

Filipitripi · Mar 3, 2011

Yes really, Youtube High quality is bug, you modified the build.prop or something more..?

Ya I have a notion that Stagefright being enabled for player streaming might be the cause. I'm looking into it.

Filipitripi · Mar 3, 2011

No problem

Ok no problem, only modify the media.stagefright.enable-player=true to false or use this buil.prop

One thanks for me plz

Was uploading the new version already but thanks.

Yup Stagefright being enabled for the youtube player was causing the issue. Flash the new version and should be all set.

coming from pays 3.3

I found pays 3.3 to be laggy when trying to close apps and the network connection quite slow and jumping between 3G and H a lot. I think the network issue is causing the lag.

coming from pays 3.3 on 3.4.2_145-003. I thought I'd wipe and factory reset before installing Lawnchair.zip

This left me with a clean ROM but with no home app and having wiped in clockwork recovery meant no debug for an ADB push. I didn't check for ADB connection but I found that voice commands would run and that allowed the selection of clockwork, so no need to reflash sbf.

Just a note if anyone sees this.

ROM has booted now and looks good, people shouldn't complain about what's missing, nothing's missing if you have ever used Titanium or Appmonster.

Ya the reason for re-flashing the sbf is because other rom's (and mine) do remove apps from the system folder. Something which a factory reset wont fix.

However, because my rom does include all stock system apps; yes this should work but like you said if your missing a Launcher in your system folder it will make it complicated.

Otherwise, glad to here its up and running.

fabianowerner · Mar 4, 2011

thank you very much for the work. the downgrade method you just included are new to me. As long as i´m working on DefyFroyoSense Beta01 and cant fix the camera flash problem, i think your way to flash Froyo and keep downgradability will fix this issue. BTW you optimized rom is great for those who wanna have a personalized system running. Thanks again and keep it coming.

madhuranand007 · Mar 4, 2011

No problem added a link in the files section to get swype, but here it is too:

Just need to install the apk either from your sdcard or using adb.

I really liked the rom, although what i did experience was a some random lagging occurring.. after switching on the screen the device seemed to hang completely then just as i was about to pull the battery it began working again. i hadnt installed any apps and i had followed all steps exactly.

I had to reflash an alternative rom in the end because of the freezing...

I am looking forward to trying new builds - cant think of any features needed really, it would just be nice to know if others had similar issue to me and if there was a fix for it.

Was this on the first boot after flashing the rom ? Also what method did you use to get to Finland Froyo ?
