[ROM] Stock-rooted Gingerbread (2.50.405.2) and Seraphic custom 0.5

[Seraphic]

Seraphic stock-rooted Gingerbread
---------------------------------

Built using Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.50.405.2 release ROM.

I've cooked this rom in order to get the closest to stock release rom I could while still maintaining root access.

This rom has the following applied to it:
* Rooted
* Zipaligned

Everything else remains as standard. This isn't deodex'd and doesn't have /data/app enabled (as I said, closest to stock was intended here)

I recommend a full wipe, dalvik cache wipe, etc before flashing.

Please flash using recovery.

Disclaimer: the usual really- don't come crying to me if you brick your device!

I've baked another rom with a few other minor additions (but still maintaining as-stock-as-possible) - please see 2nd post below for details.

Seraphic custom 0.5
--------------------

Here's the other rom I've baked with a bit more enabled, still keeping the rom as stock as possible while giving power-users a bit more to play with.

==Changelog==

Custom 0.5:
* New rom based on 2.50.405.2 release rom
* Added latest ad-block hosts file

Custom 0.3:
* Add Twitter and Facebook apps and widgets back in, including HTC elements as requested

==Features==
* Rooted (su and busybox)
* Busybox run-parts installed
* Nano text editor installed
* Bash shell installed
* /data/app enabled
* System boot sound disabled
* Custom boot animation enabled (put your own bootanimation.zip in /data/local)
* ad-free hosts file installed
* Zip aligned
* Fully deodex'd

Again, full wipe recommended and flash from recovery.

== First boot will take some time so please be patient ==

If the stock Rom doesn't have it then neither will this I'm afraid.

Noobish question: what disabling data/app actually does?

 

[Seraphic]

@kenzo901 - because I've never used it unfortunately I don't really know enough about it, there's probably an IME or something from the market you could install.

@uros0104 - it allows apps to be installed in a partition outside of the system partition when cooking the rom, basically it allows flexibility and allows the end-user to remove any apps installed in this way.

 

[Seraphic]

@kenzo901 - actually there's chinese text input settings in settings > language and keyboard > touch input > Chinese text input. Is that not what you're looking for?

 

[Seraphic]

Custom 0.2 uploaded now. Fast, clean and stable.

 

[uros0104]

@seraphic: thanks, I got it, but I don't understand why it is called disabled than, but who am I to judge...

@seraphic: thanks, I got it, but I don't understand why it is called disabled than, but who am I to judge...

If you go into 'International Keyboard option and scroll to the bottom, can you enable the correct language entry there?
