I took out a lot of stuff. I know some people wanted a debloated rom that they could mod the way they want with xposed or other flashable mods.

 

[kingarthur72076]

Did you include the Hot Spot mod?

 

[metalfan78]

No mods, except for the dialer and gallery sounds. I forgot to change the system wide touch sounds though. This is basic enough that mods can be flashed without conflicting with any built in mods. I was going for simple.

That's awesome good job dude

it would be cool if you could add downloads to any apk mod you have to op. I found a phone recorder app that worked great. that way we could install what we like. ? thanks for this my new daily. I install apex and not a hic-up one

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you explain a little more?

Ah! I see what you meant. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to PM you but it wouldn't go through. I could probably work on making zips for all the other mods from MetalRom. It might take me a while to get them all. What would you like first?

cool. it don't matter which is first, i'm just thankful for what your doing here.

I might do the 4-in-1 reboot and volume button to skip track mods first, they seem to be the most popular. Thanks for the support.

Some other mods

Here are two mods that are functional, rather than changing the look:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224083 (Hotspot and tethering)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226905 (Device status as "Normal")

That would keep the look of stock, but extend what the phone does.

Is there anything else you guys would like to see removed from this rom? I'd like to make it lighter but I'm not sure what else can be removed.

 

[koop1955]

Thanks For Asking

YES, thank you for asking. Replace the boot animation with something smaller and lighter.

I have no desire to advertise Samsung or Sprint unless they agree to advertise me.

I haven't gotten around to installing this yet, I had just flashed and set up MetalROM 3.5, but I look forward to trying this out.

Nice, thanks! I've gone back to stock ROM's because of data connection issues. I'd like to see just how small you could make this. Vanir and CyanFox are two that I'd like to run, but those are have issues on MY phone. I'd say rip out everything that does not involve making a phone call or sending messages.

Can you remove the message that appears when you disable data, and also when you activate airplane mode please
