[ROM] Google Edition 4.2.2 [Clean][Slim][280MB]

[yeahmann]

Deprecated. My 4.3 (with Mobeam support!) can be found HERE.

This ROM is more or less a debloated stock GE. No mods really. Just a clean ROM so you can add to it as you wish.

Features

• Deodexed
• Zip-aligned
• Rooted
• Auto-loki (For AT&T I337 only)
• Removed all apps available in the Play Store except for Google Keyboard
• Removed some Samsung bloat
• Reboot menu
• Play Store 4.3.11
• Google Keyboard 1.0.1870.703320 (2013-06-21)
• AT&T Hot Spot auto-login (For AT&T I337 only)
• Google Wallet works out-of-the-box

Notes

• This ROM uses a Sprint (L720) branded build.prop to make Wallet work out-of-the-box. There should be no problems with using a different branding from the phone you actually have. If you want to rebrand it to AT&T (I337) or Canadian (I337M), flash the attached build.prop but Wallet may stop working. To keep Wallet working with the AT&T or Canadian build.prop, use Nottach but some people have reported problems with Nottach.

FYI, as far as I can tell everything works including Google Wallet (with Xposed) and ES File Explorer's root explorer.

It says temporarily unavailable...really want to try it! just 297mb, it gives me the shivers just to see how clean it is!! Will wait for a fix on the link

BAD download here as well.

 

[j.v.fouts]

two questions here, can we get some of the stock apps (ie the calendar basically is all i want) and will they work on this rom?

 

[yeahmann]

Downloads fine for me. Added a mirror.

You want the TouchWiz calendar instead of Google Calendar?

pref. yes.

 

[yeahmann]

pref. yes.

I have no idea why you'd want the TW calendar instead of the Google calendar but you can try to pull the TW calendar from a TW ROM and stick it in system/apps. There's a good chance it'll work. I don't have a TW ROM to work with at the moment.

No worries I can down load one off play store like Jorge.

And its because I like full month views

I'm trying to remove more TW-specific files. Let me know if anybody encounters any problems.

 

[datrumole]

so i guess the problem with this ROM is simply there are no problems...seriously though this thing is awesome, cool beans...sucks people will have to dig to find a solid experience. loved being able to build it into what i wanted, rather than stripping one down

EDIT: noticing mediocre wifi performance, but i think this is universal on the GE roms? anyone else

I'm using the same kernel and modules as the other GE ROMs so wifi experience should be the same.

FYI, I am intentionally not updating this ROM with the newest Ausdim kernels because the point is to offer a clean and slim ROM. Ausdim's latest updates depart from stock and add features like overclocking. You can flash his newer kernel on top of this ROM if you really want.

Google Wallet now works out-of-the-box.
Deodexed now so you can flash mods like Jamison904's extended power menu.

awesome! BTW, the mega link is asking me for some kind of unlock code? Maybe it's just me...
