[ROM][JAN 10] G2 Slim v1.6 -- OTA 2.16.531.5 NO BLOAT!!

The purpose of this ROM was to make the fastest, smoothest and best battery life ROM out there. With the newest TMO radio, which was packed with this ROM, i get 2 full days battery life. (im in california, individual results may vary on location.)

I am also minimalist and hate anything unnecessary on my cell. I needed a way to "clean" install the newest OTA and pick and choose the apps that i really need. soooo.....

I stripped pretty much everything out of it for speed and efficiency. I get 250+ mb free ram on boot.

Thanks for posting.

Only thing to mention is that to cut it back a bit more you could de-odex it?

I was thinkin about deodexing, I read online about the pros and cons of odex and deodex.

I came up with odexed is a lil faster, but cannot be themed. I need to read more, wut do u guys think??

here is some links to why i dont want to de-odex the rom

Thanks for those battery mods, ive been using "dial" for the past couple days, and its great. i was thinkin on making a slim v1.1 and adding some things, but i think ima leave this rom as is and bone stock.

I do plan on making a new custom rom in the next couple days and ima use this rom as the base.

only real benefit of leaving a rom odexed is a faster boot time,and maybe some performance gain here and there, but bare noticeable, thats about it.

but hey to each its own =).

The purpose of this ROM was to make the fastest, smoothest and best battrey life ROM out there. Even if the gains are maginal, they still are gains over all the rest of the ROMs out there.

on a side note, dude siul much respect to have you comment in my thread. id rather hear about the odex/de-oxed stuff from a real dev, instead of a link.

If your talkin about the battery mods, save them to your sd card. boot into recovery and choose flash from zip. You flash right over the rom and it updates the framework
