***NOTES***
NO FFC Support - I don’t have a FFC
I got fed up with opening Titanium Backup and freezing about 10-15 apps every time I flashed a new ROM. I built this ROM to suit MY needs. Sorry I don’t plan to add to much to this but may fix a few bugs when they pop up (If able). You can add anything I removed as you see fit. I may attached a .zip file (not flashable you will need to push) with all removed files. I used the Ecotox kernel for one main reason – 100Mhz overclock stepping. My phone doesn’t like to overclock, with the exception of 1100Mhz. This ROM defaults to BFQ / Smartass @1100Mhz overclocked. Let me say again so no surprises:

This ROM defaults to BFQ / Smartass @1100Mhz overclocked.

IN the 2 years or so I’ve had this phone any kernel I could overclock to 1100Mhz was rock solid, and still cool on the system. If you don’t like it reset it with voltage control and set at boot to start @1000Mhz. Instead of editing smali and .apk’s I saved some time by pulling files / code from other ROMS. I mainly pulled stuff from EDT and Fishman ROMS along with some files from the Glastopia Theme. Thank them when you get a chance please.

This is probably the fastest Froyo ROM I’ve ever used.

***BUGS***

• DO NOT SELECT SGSII UNLOCK SCREEN (BOOTLOOPS) – I broke it somehow. I prob won’t fix it cause I don’t use that unlock
• Beats.Audio breaks sound for the stock video player. Suggest you download MX Player from marker w/MX Player Codec package

NOTE: If the first release works good - Id stick with it. Check the 2nd post update to see if its worth a full wipe.


Install Instructions:
DO NOT FLASH FROM ICS, MIUI, or CM7or9 - must Odin to Stock (or Lidroid)first

If on a 2.2 or other I9000 Ginger ROM:
Nandroid backup your previous rom
Factory reset / Clear Cache + Dalvik
Format /system in mounts
Flash
Fix permissions
Boot
wait 10min
Reboot
Profit !!!


SUGGESTIONS

• Everyone has a favorite Home application - I urge you to try Twiz again. I think you will be surprise just how streamline and fast the Samsung default Home App is. Also attached TW4.5 to try.
• Rom Manager and Ecotox doesn't seem to play nice together. If you try and do a backup from ROM Manager it will reboot to a green CWM and not backup. To do a nandroid just reboot to recovery and select "Backup and Restore" then select "Backup". You can always go back into ROM Manager and rename the backup later.

--Found only 1 lockscreen works.


Wifi Calling apk attached - ROM already has the needed lib files. Click and install like normal application.

Sounds good, kinda like slim froyo...

Edit: just wondering, if this is froyo, why does it need gb bootloaders?

GB boot loaders are not required no - the stock froyo will do fine.

That's what I figured, the way it was worded threw me off is all.

I'm kinda surprised the rom is still so big with all that removed. Gonna try it out though.

Yea - it does seem large. Take into consideration that the system directory of Stock KB5 is 248mb - mine after editing is 211mb.


I also added some media files / shutdown screens / and /data apps

I think I just got spoiled from slim ics, under 70mb total.

That is a big drop though, about to flash this.

Very nice... I'll give this a whirl for a few days.

Thanks Fish - if you ever need it (you may have your own way) in my 3rd post I created a quick DOS zipalign script.

I also noticed a lot of ROMS I looked at had a zipalign init.d script, but no zipalign executable in /system/xbin.
