hello everyone. first post as you can see. i m not new to the android world, but i m not into modding, so after the buggy stock rom bugged to death, i installed a early CM7 for the SGM. it was maybe 6 months ago.

right now it pretty much ruined. the cache or some inner app folder started to build up, and i tried all kind of things to free up space, till 2 hours ago when i did something and now i cant install any new apps, and having only 13 MB left is not good. i want to start over, but this time i want to do it my way.

what is my way? well, tell me my taste sucks, but i think all of the GO EX apps are awesome, so i'd like to flash a new rom, if possible using just the CWM, that will have the GO: Launcher, SMS, Dialer, Contacts, Calander and Keyboard. the full monty. i dont want wallpaper manager, or google voice (doesnt work in israel), or "Car Home" (what ever that is :| ). for mediaplayer i use playerpro. i want it to have all of those as the basic package, and also opera mobile.

so, the questions (after all the demands lol) are:
1. is there a very basic, flashable from CWM, ROM, that can do the job i need?
2. if the answer for 1 is no, how hard is it to take a basic rom and mod it to suit my needs?
3. since i learned to live with my buggy CM7 and pretty much not using many apps, i can also just install some good rom (using CWM) and let that be. but is there one good rom out there? it seems that in the development forum its all about beta rom's witch S voice and ICS or something like that.

3. are those flashable from CWM? like, i move the zip to the SD, boot in recovery, few clicks and i got a new and exciting ROM?
2. looked there, it looks complicated :|
1. the stock got samsung crap. TW, samsung apps and all that. is there a vanilla android ROM? (again, if it works the easy CWM way it would be great).

3. Yup, Just remember to wipe data l, cache and dalvik cache before and after flashing
2. It not really that hard search the one by mv_style
1.MORe and emanon v3 are good vanilla the new emanon is a libit bloat.
If u don't like any bloat app use titanium backup to remove them and u can also use titanium back up to convert the apps u like to system (long press the apps u like and thre will be an pop up):)
