[ROM] CSROM - an AOSPish Mod of GB 236 [v7.0][Final]

No Exceptions!​

Are you looking for a stable and smooth Gingerbread 236 experience?

A completely reliable and fully functioning daily driver?

Tweaked and modded as you have come to expect from a GB ROM?

Lightly Blured with an AOSPish twist?

A Clean Slate to modify as YOU wish?



Introducing a custom AOSPish ROM based on the deodexed Gingerbread 2.3.6 (4.5.141) Fruit Cake made by Xanadu. The ROM has been almost completely de-bloated and de-blured, and has many AOSP components.

Try to think of this ROM as a Clean Slate to modify as YOU wish. I don't want to force apps, gapps, themes, and launchers on you.
I will leave it up to YOU to decide how you want YOUR ROM to look and function.

First boot is slow (due to deodex). Just be patient and enjoy the AOSP boot animation!

All the features of CSROM plus:
Faux 1.45GHz 026b1 unified kernel
V6 Supercharged (1000HP)
Faster and smoother than CSROM
Still has great battery life
Apps open instantly!

The idea was to create a customized status bar that reminds the user of the dashboard of a high-end sports car with the color scheme of the Motorola boot logo. This theme, which is compatible with both CSROM and CSROM Turbo, includes the HTC Sense status bar, status bar icons, and notification drawer.

International users will either need to flash ramfix, a custom kernel, or install CSROM Turbo.

Cellular network display issues? Look here.

Cellular data not working? Look here.

GPS lock problems? Look here and here.

Your locale not supported? Install ROM & GApps, skip initial Blur setup,
install MoreLocale2, set up Blur

Tethering / Mobile Hot Spot: here

The force 2G/3G option only works with the 100r radio.

Gingerbread 2.3.6 (4.5.141) Stock Fruitcake
At the same time I was working on the ROM above, I also spent some time trying to understand the problem with installing Gingerbread 2.3.6 Fruit Cakes. There are many members of this forum, myself included, that have been looking for a Gingerbread 2.3.6 (4.5.141) fruit cake to return to stock. There are a few available on SamCripp’s thread, but there seems to be issues for some users installing them (if you search the thread you will find references to “System 7” errors). After trying to use these fruit cakes for a while I realized that I could not get them to install properly coming from a CM9/10 ROM, but coming from CM7 usually worked fine. After noticing that the GB 234 and 235 Fruit Cakes worked great every time, I started experimenting with install script mods. I eventually made one that works every time no matter which ROM I was currently running. The fruit cake I was using is listed on SamCripp’s thread as “2.3.6” and was also made by Xanadu and is pure stock. There is a download link below for my mod for anyone that is interested. If you use it let me know how it works. (Don’t misinterpret anything I have said above as a slight to SamCripp or ROM Factory – mad love for both!)


Many thanks to:
SamCripp for ROM Factory
Xanadu for making the original Fruit Cake

Installation: (flash at your own risk – all the usual disclaimers apply)
Nandroid backup
Flash ROM from recovery (no need to wipe – install script wipes system, data, cache, and Dalvik)

I just wanted to quickly confirm that I flashed this coming from CM7 and had no issues. The Stock GB ROM worked great.
Thanks again!

No FC's for me while editing contacts. Are you on 6.1? Did you look at the changelog?


Edit:
Added removed blur apps to OP.

I don't know. In theory, it is possible. You may find some useful info in the link below where AT&T users were able to use a Froyo UK fruitcake.

Thank you so much for the time and effort! May I make a request for apps? I think the clock and task manager apps would sweet in the almost pure AOSP one.

Sorry, I missed your edit. I added a link to a file containing all the Motorola apps I removed. Just unzip the file and follow the instructions in the Read Me file.

Just install a correct kernel. I flash faux's kernel in the last step and everything works

If you had problems with Gingerbread 236, then you will have problems with this ROM. The modifications I made are cosmetic and app related.
