Once again DookMatt, your auto-zipalign is incorrectly implemented, it's not working.
Also, you don't need to mount system for changing default frequency and governor.
I think he is using the wrong script for Auto ZipAlign. The one by Wes Garner points to system/apps which is already zipaligned. All new apps are installed at data/apps and hence the log show no new apps zip aligned.

Need to modify the script a wee bit to point to data/apps. You can make the following changes to the zipalign script

Change this: for apk in /system/sd/app/*.apk
to: for apk in /data/app/*.apk

Not too sure it's the right way but works alright.

** I have not checked your ROM. Based on Noejn's comment and the fact that you mentioned it's Wes Garner's script.

Yes, but you can also leave them in the rom in the /data partition instead of /system, so you could uninstall them and that's that.
I, for example, can't find the maps app in the market. So I have to install it from other sources, ergo no updates. Which sucks.


Other than that, till now I like the ROM :D
You can use market enabler to download maps app.

You can remove them with the xda app android optimizer that can delete system apps!:D

Nope, it's not even that.
It's really just bad implementing.

If he knew more about what he's doing we would realize that the init.d script he has doesn't zipalign, it just calls that function.
However, he doesn't have the bin so it can't zipalign at all, it's broken.

Either way, although I was the first to bring the auto-zipalign script to a P500 ROM, I have realized it's pretty much useless because:

1. /system/apps are already zipaligned.
2. /data/apps are already zipaligned too because market does it.

So there's not really much use for it. Not to mention the Wes Garner script doesn't zipalign (afaik) /data/app. I have one who zipaligns everything (data,framework,system) though but it's still useless.

Noejn honest to God folks will buy you a phone just to make a decent 2.3. So far its the same slow official stuff in a different package.

With your expertise and Francisco's enthusiasm I'm sure you can bake something worthwhile in a few days.

About the second point, if I look at the log I see that all the newly installed apks are zip aligned. So not sure about market zip aligning newer apps.

BTw do you have any cool new ideas or tweaks to test. The ROM makers here need something to differentiate the roms :p

Hey overflow I found a rom on an italian android forum (I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about) which has some stuff implemented from CM7 and some tweaks that make the animations and system move a lot faster. It's called Paki's Rom. Please take a look at that and do it in your rom and it will be perfect.

That ROM has some scripts that override some nice Franco's kernel tweaks.
It deletes values adequate to P500 and replaces for values for HDPI and high-end devices like Galaxy S.

It's a rollercoaster of tweaks with no sense at all, I even see contradictory crap.
However, I found one which seems nice, I wonder the effect hmm. But yeah, that ROM performance could be much better if he filtered the tweaks to suit the P500.

By the way, nice. He used void #forever as base. At least I can see my name all over the build.prop.
That's why he posted it on androidworld.it; here it would be deleted for going against XDA rules. It's np though, he changed it enough. :)

The thing is this rom has an awesome smoothness. Stock 2.3.3 sucks for me because the animations are jittery and the phone is not fluid. That rom fixed it

I don't get it, he says he uses franco 2.6.35 kernel, but void forever uses the old 2.6.32 one.

Bugs:
1. Wi-Fi disconnects itself often. Like every 30 mins or so.
2. Google Navigation force closes. I installed Google Maps and Navigation, maps work but Navigation force closes.
3. Sometimes phone freezes for 5-10 seconds when switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data.

Improvements that could be made:

Fix the bugs.
Implement long-press back button app killing. Some people use it often.
Implement the notification menu from CM if possible, I'd love easy edge/3g switching and ez-mode brightness control. without any other widgets.
Implement in-rom overclocking.
