imilka's Stock Froyo RAM RC3

based on AdamG's OpenDesire latest version
Made this while experimenting with RAM... Found it quite good during 2 days testing :)

Quick notes:

1) System is fully loaded into RAM, you will need to modify CWR flash.cfg and reflash partitions (read below)
2) You can't modify system via Root explorer or etc.
Read below how it can be done.
3) Uhm... nothing more.
4)Replace stock launcher with other btw, it's laggy even with this configuration sometimes :D
(ADW EX - my choice)

Features
  • clean, stock, fast and stable (should be stable :p)
  • FM Radio
  • CM6
  • easy system modifying
  • ~15seconds boot time
  • rooted
  • deodexed and zipaligned
  • free space after install - about 250M on EU device

No screenshots, sorry... haven't you seen stock froyo? :)

Installation
1) Download latest CWR with system layout (any)
2) Modify flash.cfg like this:
Code:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot ya|boot|ro 100M
system ya 15M
cache ya 10M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
3) Flash partitions (run DAF.exe)
4) Boot into recovery
5) Select Mounts and Storage > Mount USB Storage
DONT COPY ZIP USING MAGLDR, USE ONLY THIS WAY! (or cardreader)
6) Copy zip to SD card
7) Select Install zip from sdcard > Select zip from sdcard
8) Select uploaded zip, select yes, wait
9) Reboot, wait

Modifiying system files
As I already said, it's not possible to modify system using Root Explorer, ADB or else.
So, to modify system:

1) Make .ramfs folder in root of your sd card
Download .ramfs folder if you can't create it
2) Now .ramfs acts like your /system, so create any files/folders you need to modify under .ramfs

Example: I need to modify framework-res.apk in /framework, here what I should do:
1) Copy .ramfs folder to sdcard root
2) Create framework folder in .ramfs
3) Copy framework-res.apk to framework folder
4) Reboot

Don't delete .ramfs after you made this!
If you delete this folder, system will be restored to default state. (your modified files will be replaced with default ones)

Changelog
v0.3 - initial public release

Downloads

Okay... I think that's all I wanted to say :)
Happy using... Hope everything is OK... at least it was OK for me :)

Same. Also, I cannot seem to set a wallpaper. It just stays as the default one no matter what. Otherwise it's looking like a fine build!
I'm using ADW EX as I mentioned, changed wallpaper and it changed successfully and hasn't been reseted after reboots. Checked default launcher - works succesfully too :)
It means that I can't delete any useless app from system??
You can... repack initrd :p
Why should you? I don't think there's a lot of useless apps cause system is close to stock. (I haven't removed some really useless apps like OD updater, I'll remove them in update)

This is really a very good rom.

I just modify it to DFT version
and did some changes to support
1. change gps.conf
2. replace kernel

Still testing and don't find any problems now
:D:D:D

WOW this looks VERY promising!!! :D
Everything works till now, enough memory, no FC's, all my applications work, fast.
Don't know why not more people try this!

Now I'm gonna try to change some (system)settings (gpsconf, build.prop because font is too big, usb-tp-pc). And try some superuser things like fix_permissions.
Seems g-sensor callibration option is gone?

fix_permissions will have no effect after reboot :D
But you can do it to check root :)

How you gonna change system settings? (just to make sure you're doing it right :))
