This is english only! (You have been warned...!)
A few months back I created this ROM for my personal use.
This is plain CM 7.2, with a lot of useless stuff removed. (More about that further down). This is for everybody who does not fancy cutting edge looks, but rather looks for something that is 100% (And i mean 100%...) working, without any reboots, or fc's...

What did you remove?​
  • Unused icons from every single apk (There was a lot of hdpi and not used mdpi content)
  • Useless preferences for our device (Trackball, flashlight, you name it...). Some of it only from the UI, with others I managed to remove them completly from the .apk. Others were just too deeply integrated.
  • Unused binarys (/bin /xbin)
  • All Languages except english
  • Fallback Fonts
  • Help files & Information texts
  • Unused libraries (/lib)
  • Ringtones / Alarms / Notifications (Doesn't everybody use their own anyway?)
  • All TTS files except english
  • Stupid things from build.prop
  • APK's: AndroidTerm ; CMStats ; CMUpdateNotify ; CMWallpapers ; Development ; DSPManager ; Email ; HTMLViewer ; Livewallpapers ; LivewallpapersPicker ; MagicSmokeWallpapers ; Pacman ; Protips ; QuickSearchBox ; RomManager ; SamsungServiceMode ; SoundRecorder ; VisualizationWallpapers ; VoiceDialer
What did you change/include?
What Apps did you mod?
  • Browser: Cleaned up menu
  • Camera: Cleaned up the settings
  • CMParts: Cleaned up most settings, removed useless options
  • Contacts: Removed useless options
  • Deskclock: Resized
  • FM: Enable radio without headset (reception might be bad)
  • Deskclock: Resized / Removed options
  • Phone: Removed useless options
  • Settings: Removed useless options
  • SpareParts: Removed useless options / Integrated into CMParts
  • All Apk's have shorter texts / Info fields removed (E.g. Perfomance/Accessibility nag windows) / Blank help pictures / ...
Every single apk and jar file has been decompiled and stripped of all the useless things I could find. Also everything is recompiled using OptiPng and of course Zipalign.
What about the kernel?!
  • Mr Android - Thank you very much Dany547 - Ramdisk changed by me
  • Readahead values reworked to 4kb on /data /system /cache & 64kb on sdcard
  • Changed TCP buffers to stock values
  • Changed OnDemand up_threshold to stock value
  • Changed minfree values to stock
  • Removed Bootsplash
  • Clean up of obsolete entries
What is there to bear in mind?
  • One bug is left (Present in each and every single CM 7.2): Turning off WiFi-Tethering via notification panel might sometimes not actually turn it off. Go to Settings/Wireless&Networks/Tethering & portable Hotspot/Portable WiFi hotspot settings and turn it off from there.
  • Do not apply any pathetic build.prop tweaks... If they are so good, why didn't your manufacture include them? (They are not stupid...)
  • Do not apply any of those awesome MakeMyDeviceFly.zip's

Flashing Procedure:
  • Wipe data/factory reset
  • Flash Rom
  • Reboot to system
  • If Home button does not work, reboot again

Thanks to all these guys
This Rom is based on CyanogenMod-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-tass, which is the last build of CM 7.2 for our device.

Just like 8bitrebellion said, s2e will just work fine. I personally prefer Link2SD as well, because it lets you choose, what part of which app you want to link.


I did not include any screenshots, because it is pure CyanogenMod 7.2.


Anyway I attached a few =)

Yes sure...its cm7.2, so any app or mod applied to pure cm7.2 can work with this rom.

is there flashable zip or some other way to install dsp manager ? otherwise i love this rom :)
Here is a stripped version of the standard DSP Manager. I personally prefer Viper4Android, but of course that is totally up to you.

Bear in mind, that this is not odexed, so you would have to run

Code:
su
dexo -all
in an terminal emulator, in case you want an odexed version.

Mine clearly shows the download button, what client are you using? Try downloading it from a computer and if you still have trouble I will upload it to mediafire.

@Wooaarr Can you port this rom to galaxy fit? Thanks...
I do not own this device, but i might give it a shot. Give me a day ;)
