Welcome to TriForceROM

triforcerom_zps39cfa075.jpg


This ROM is designed and developed with the following goals in mind: Stability, Minimal Size, Speed, Flexibility, Performance, Power Saving. IN THAT ORDER, but pretty much a strong balance of everything to provide the best experience your phone can offer.

Thanks list is in Post #2 - If your name is missing from this list, please do not hesitate to point it out, I will gladly add you if you've assisted me.

Usual Disclaimer: You flash this at your own risk... BE SURE TO HAVE A COMPLETE NAND BACKUP. I'm not responsible if your hair suddenly falls out, the neighbors dog comes and eats your newspaper, the zombie apocalypse occurs, or your phone breaks. I'm providing this as-is, no guarantees or promises.

Also... On the topic of "as-is..." Please understand that I'm the one and only person developing this ROM, I also work a regular job and have a fairly busy personal life. So don't expect a Masterpiece, I do what I can, add mods that I can, and fix things when I can. I'm mainly developing this for my own personal use, but figured I might as well share the benefits with everyone else.

Install Instructions


This ROM includes AROMA installer. This gives you customizable options when you go to install the ROM.

You will be prompted for 3 different Options to start: Default, Customize, and Change Mods

The first option(Default) will install TriForceROM as it was intended to be used, with all the mods enabled. Much like the previous releases of TriForceROM.

The second option(Customize) will allow you to pick and choose from the mods available. This is still a full wipe option.

The third option(Change Mods) will allow you to do the same as the above, but will not wipe System or Data, so you can change mods/theme on the go without worrying about wiping your precious data! Simply re-flash the SAME ROM file and select Change Mods, select your new mods and let it flash!

Default and Customize will wipe both Data and System, be sure you have a backup. You must do a full install before you're able to use the Change Mods out. (It won't let you until you are on TriForceROM.)

Again, it will not wipe data or system when you select to Change Mods.

As usual first boot takes a while because it has to rebuild data and cache.​


Enjoy!

Finally done uploading! Lol... Boy, releasing new versions is gonna suck... I hate my connection. :(

Please let me know how it goes.

Also, If anyone wants to mirror it, I don't mind at all, toss a link up and I'll add it to the main post.

Hey OP....this might help in the future...here is a list of apps safe to remove (minus the sprint crap)....just pick and choose

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40911004

Lol, I ended up going through manually and removing them based on either their name or I used APK Analyzer to determine exactly what they are.

This list helps though. Thanks.

I wish there was a list like this for the library files... Could save some more space by eliminating the libraries that aren't needed anymore as well.

Small update, got the 4-in-1 reboot menu to work, thanks to kahvitahra's help and guide.

Download here and flash via recovery. This will cause cache to reset, so it will rebuild that after you flash.

Added to main post and integrated into ROM for next update as well.

Not trying to be a d1ck by not running your rom yet and asking this, but do you suppose this would work on stock rooted? I see its just the android policy jar so figured id ask. Thanks.

No worries.

This version will only work if the the system has been de-odex'd. So you would have needed to flash the deodexed stock rom

It will not work on pure stock with just root added in.

    This ROM is designed and developed with the following goals in mind: Stability, Minimal Size, Speed, Flexibility, Performance, Power Saving. IN THAT ORDER, but pretty much a strong balance of everything to provide the best experience your phone can offer.

    Install Instructions


    This ROM includes AROMA installer. This gives you customizable options when you go to install the ROM.

    You will be prompted for 3 different Options to start: Default, Customize, and Change Mods

    The first option(Default) will install TriForceROM as it was intended to be used, with all the mods enabled. Much like the previous releases of TriForceROM.

    The second option(Customize) will allow you to pick and choose from the mods available. This is still a full wipe option.

    The third option(Change Mods) will allow you to do the same as the above, but will not wipe System or Data, so you can change mods/theme on the go without worrying about wiping your precious data! Simply re-flash the SAME ROM file and select Change Mods, select your new mods and let it flash!

    Default and Customize will wipe both Data and System, be sure you have a backup. You must do a full install before you're able to use the Change Mods out. (It won't let you until you are on TriForceROM.)

    Again, it will not wipe data or system when you select to Change Mods.

    As usual first boot takes a while because it has to rebuild data and cache.​


    Enjoy!

    I know it's been a while since I've been "seen" and that's not because I've been on vacation, lol, well it was for a little bit.. but mainly It's because my job has been extra busy lately and my internet connection at home has been having some major issues. I've been monitoring the thread and chiming in when It's necessary via my phone, but it's been a real pain in the arse dealing with this stupid Internet Service Provider. I'm not MIA or anything though, I'm still here. Just dealing with some other issues right now. I'll be back to getting an update out soon though, to address any major issues and get (hopefully) a few more mods or requests filled.

    Just letting everyone know not to worry, I'm still here!

    Hey Unknown. I've been using your Rom since I rooted and was wondering if you have a PayPal link or something so I can donate to the great work you have done? I didn't see it in the Op.

    Thanks for the great debloated rom.

    Sent from my SPH-L720

    Hey, appreciate it.

    Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not being condescending at all. But, I do have a link on both my avatar and in my signature. But I'll add a link to the OP as well when I release 3.0, which will happen either late tonight or tomorrow.

    But on the donation topic... Just so everyone knows my stance here...

    I don't want to be considered someone that's flashing the "donate to me" all over the place... So I typically don't include a link or anything it in my threads. Because, to me, donations are supposed to be exactly that, donations. They aren't supposed to be a cost, a charge or "I'm doing great work, so you should donate..." To me, if you donate, you should donate out of your own free will, and not expect anything in return. It's like buying someone a beer at a bar/pub for doing something nice for you, or buying your friend a drink or a coffee because they helped you with something.

    I also don't believe in the "donator's list" thing... cause it doesn't do anyone any good... It makes people feel obligated to donate just to make their name on a meaningless list and make those that don't donate feel less important... It doesn't seem to accomplish anything in my opinion.

    I'm not here to make money, I have an 8-5 M-F Job that I hate for that, haha...

    With all of that said... give me all your moneys RIGHT MEOW! Haha, Juuust kidding!
