PLEASE NOTE: FLASHING THIS ROM WILL MAKE YOUR PHONE USELESS AS AN ACTUAL PHONE. YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO MAKE PHONE CALLS WHILE RUNNING THIS ROM, AS ALL PHONE FUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN REMOVED. YOU BASICALLY HAVE A WIFI/BLUETOOTH ENABLED TOUCH SCREEN MUSIC PLAYER WITH THE ABILITY TO DOWNLOAD APPS/BROWSE THE WEB IF YOU SO CHOOSE TO.

With my purchase of the Galaxy Nexus, I found it hard to just toss my "Sexy Nexy" into her original box and into the closet where she'll likely never been seen again. Read someone suggesting using it for a dedicated music player, so I decided to do just that. After playing around with several other ROMs and just basically gutting them, I decided to just take a base ROM, "theme it", gut it, move a few things around and come up with my own Frankenstein of a ROM. Never used the Kitchen before, nor did I have any experience on what could and could not be removed, so after 2-days of trial and error, I finally got the results I was hoping for (still don't know which libs and such can be removed though). With that, I present to you...

♪MelodyMod♪

Android 2.3.7
Based on MIUI 2.3.30
Deodex
Zipaligned
Beats Audio/SRS Mod
SuperUser/BusyBox
Themed (using MIUI theme customization)

Apps Removed:
Basically everything from /system/app folder (had to leave a few things like GMail because it kept causing force closed loops even after rebooting and gutting other things I thought would solve it).

Apps Added:
AdFree
ADW Launcher (removed MIUI Launcher)
JukeFox
DSPManager
ESFile Explorer
Music Paradise (need to sign into PlayStore, search for it and click update...it won't take for some reason, just force closes without that)
Pandora
Play Music
SuperUser
PlayStore

REQUIREMENTS:
Should work perfectly fine with just about any HBOOT; radio shouldn't matter because you have no cell reception. Not much to read here...

TIPS:

*Once logging into PlayStore, you will receive random process.google force closes, so unless you really feel the need to download apps, don't bother. They are not very frequent but still annoying at times (I think its a Google sync issue)

*JukeFox has a setting which allows overwriting of the default lockscreen with a pretty nice music control one, if you choose not to use MIUI default music player.

Thank you to everyone who created everything I used, because obviously I didn't create any of this myself. Rockodev for the Beats/SRS libs, everyone involved with MIUI, Iperzampem0 for answering questions for me via PM :p, dsixda for his Kitchen...everyone :D

Hey, thanks for the tips!

I actually used the AudioFancier theme, minus the lock screen (the lock screen wouldn't display music controls). Unless that's a different one. I'll look when I get home.

If you can point me towards how to add language support, I'd be glad to add Turkish :)

Great Idea...I was thinking along the same lines, but didn't see the need to "gut" a ROM, since the music/etc. would be on the SD card anyway.

Congratulations!

The main reason I saw to gut it was to try and improve battery life. Removing telephony and such that'll search for a cell signal will drain battery.

I know what you mean though :)

Battery life is absolute donkey ****! 10 Minutes of doing nothing, and already drained to 96%. And yes, my battery is calibrated good.

Is it really? I powered it up, wifi on, and searched xda app for a while trying to find a stable rom for her. Also downloaded. Probably 30 minutes or so of screen constant on and it was at 95% if I'm not mistaken...

I was really interested in this ROM. My N1 is also my dedicated music player. Has development stopped? My only real beef with it was the few remaining visual aspects of it having been a phone. If I remember correctly it constantly reminded me it had no cell signal.

Maybe someone smarter than me could pick this up? It was a neat idea.

I've done quite a bit of development on the S3 over the last year or so and have learned a ton since releasing this (I knew nothing when I did this).

I currently use my N1 as a speedometer for my newest car purchase while I troubleshoot and fix it.

My point is, I may put something together to make it a dedicated music player and release it on here :)

I too don't use my N1 as a phone - well, actually I use skype now as my phone and people can only call me when I'm connected to wifi. Which means at home, at the office, or at a free wifi hotspot. Any other time you can't reach me, which suits me perfectly. Apart from skype, I only play music, so I'm curious about this ROM as well. Provided it can run skype as well as the music stuff, I'd try it.

The only thing putting me off it at the moment is that all those force closes tells me its probably not stable enough to use as a skype phone. But any further development (or a new music-focused ROM) would be interesting to try.

When I get some free time, I'll see what I can do.

As I said, when I did this ROM I literally had no idea what I was doing, lol.

I just checked my dropbox account, which I haven't used it years, and it appears I deleted it. I have since built a completely new rig so my old files are gone.

I'm highly considering setting the kitchen up again just for fun and making one. I still have my Nexus (it's actually sitting on my computer desk).

some ideas here too

I did something similar but I didnt create a mod mostly just showed how to take any phone and make it work as an mp3 player and get great battery life.

I'm still using the HTC Rezound as my primary music player and the battery life is still really good.

So, my wife had been using my Nexus as a speedometer because the one in her car went belly up for some reason. It's been in there for months.

I cleaned it off the other day and what do you know! The MelodyMod r2 file was still on the internal storage. It's what I've had running on the Nexus since I created it.

I've re-uploaded it, in case anyone is interested. I've had probably 4 or 5 PMs about this ROM randomly over the year, so I'm sure someone wants it.

Enjoy!

EDIT- Just an FYI, I am NOT supporting this ROM so please do not ask for updates or anything. It does work though, it's what is running on my Nexus now which like I said was being used for months by my wife for the speedometer app.
