This is the 2.1 Eris OTA(JULY) With Root, A2SD, and Overclocking.
This is for people that like the SENSE UI, and have lots of apps.
I was using PLAINJANE and filled up the internal Memory, so I went about looking for a way to keep the rom and have all my apps.
Presenting PlainJaneT2 V2.0 Screenies attached New Fonts!
Change Log:
Code:
[B][U]PlainJaneT2 v1.0[/B][/U]-Added A2sd to Original PlainJane from Jcase.
[U][B]PlainJaneT2 v1.1-1.4[/B][/U]-Various Deodexed Versions of
the Rom that never were made public.
[U][B]PlaingJaneT2 v2.0[/B][/U]
-Based on JULY OTA
- Fully Deodexed without any FC (This was a Killer to figure out...)
- Added the Newest A2sd Preview 4
-Added Scripts to rom to enable ext mounting on linux
systems, get cpu Info, make system folder rw, and the ability to
zipalign all apks.
-Added Modified boot screen.
-Changed Default Fonts.
-Made it all stock (some People were asking to leave the apps untouched.
^^(I made a flash zip you can you use to get rid of the all BloatWaredelete)
Remember to BACKUP your sdcard before doing the step below!!!.
Things you need to know and do.
How to set up your sd card for a2sd:
Code:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Scroll down to PARTITION SDCARD
3.Click On PARTITION SD
4.Click trackball to confirm
5.Select Swap size 32mb is fine
6.Select ext size (I did 768mb you don't have to make it that big)
7.Click again to partition sd card.
8.Go to PARTITION SD menu and choose SD:ext2 to ext3
This New A2sd Makes it so when you go to the data/app folder, it actually takes you to the /system/sd/app folder. So when you use Root Explorer to look at the data/app folder you are actually looking at the /system/sd/app folder.
You know you are in the /system/sd/app folder in root Explorer because at the very top it says something like this "92.88MB used 593.51MB free" as we all know the Eris doesn't have that much space in the data/app folder. The space in the data/app folder might still be going down because the cache isn't moved to the sd card by default, if you want to change this you can change it yourself.
For a2sd help:
Code:
adb shell
su
a2sd help
Use of scripts:
Code:
Go into terminal emulator or adb and run these scripts
-"sys -rw" Will Make system Read and Write
-"sys -ro "Will Make system Read Only"
-"usb -e" Will mount Sdcards Partitions" On linux
systems will mount the EXT partition. Sorry windows people.
"usb -d" Will unmount the sdcard Partitions..
-"cpuinfo" Will give you the OverClock settings,
giving you the max, min, and what you have it set to.
-"zipalign_apks" Does just that zipalign all apks.
To change the over clocking settings Download Setcpu from this thread Here
Remember to Wipe Factory/cache Before flashing this rom.

I hope this helps someone, I Had a hard time getting a2sd to work because there isn't that much documentation on how to enable the boot.img for a2sd, now people don't have to go through what i did to get a2sd on 2.1 stock rom.And Jcase Gave me his ok.(In case you were wondering)

This rom is heavy, just over 100MB. You have to realize though that this is not an AOSP or even SLIGHTLY Vanilla rom, its completly stock based.
The fact that its Sense based is also going to have some effect on battery life. Don't expect to come from White Widow and see the same kind of battery life.
This rom also takes a HELL of a long time on first boot. Thats because of the de-odexed files.
[SIZE="4"]Installation[/SIZE]
Wipe data/dalvik and flash like normal from recovery.
If you experience FC's on the first boot, you may need to wipe your SD-ext. This can be done from the Recovery Menu under the "wipe" sub-section.
[SIZE="4"]Partition-ing [/SIZE]
-Make a backup of everything on your SD card.
-From the recovery menu choose Partition sdcard.
-Choose Partition SD
-Select the defaults for all the sizes.
-Choose SD:ext2 to ext3
-Copy back all of your files.

mine is simple though, its just for people that like the simplicity of Plain Jane but filled their internal memory.
I Really wasn't trying to step on anyone toes, my bad.
This is so people have to waste their time, like me, getting a2sd to work on plain jane like i did.

oh your not stepping on toes.
if anyones stepping on toes here its me releasing smash right after this.
i was kinda worried to release mine-i actually PM'ed you hoping we could work something out without either one of us getting pissed at the other
if you have no problem with it though ill release it once the upload finishes.
haha i just think its ironic that i kept this a secret and you were working on the same thing-i was in no way accusing you of stealing or any of that BS.
best of luck to you, feel free to hit me up anytime. id be glad to help you out with this or any other project you plan on starting.
so what are the perks of an espresso (sp?) rosie?

Mmm send me a pm and I'll try to help you out. Did you partition your sd card? That's the only thing I can think that will cause a boot loop.

Good release ....forgot how smooth Sense can be
Quick question about a2sd: Say you flash to another ROM that also uses a2sd. Do you have to delete any app data on the sd or does the new ROM overwrite it, or neither? LOL. Thanks for this ROM! just flashed and will let you know if there are any issues.
One random reboot. Used my phone for a sec, set it down, looked over and heard the vibrate and it was rebooting.

I have been using this rom for a while now and havent had reboots, If you didn't wipe the EXT partition its probably what caused it because most rom's are using the old version of a2sd and not the new one and it might be causing reboots.
If it reboots again let me know so i can see what's causing it.
Had another reboot. Before I flashed, I setup my storage card exactly as your instructions said. Only thing is, how do you know if the apps are being installed on the sd? If I go to data/ there is no app folder but there is in sd/data. Also I read on the darktremor thread about davlik cache decreasing and that can also be moved to storage card. Not sure how to do that though. I know it's not your ROM. Maybe I should try completely wiping and partitioning the card again?
edit: Removed sd card from device and installed apps lose icons and FC. So I guess they are installed to sd. Only thing is the phone rebooted when I reinserted the sd card. Suggestions? Thanks for your help man!!
edit: Oh man it's actually an endless reboot. What to do....
edit: Did a battery pull while it was looping and it booted up fine. No clue whats going on. I'll let you know if it reboots again. Oh man also, after the successful boot, my cd card seems corrupted. In astro, every item is just lines and square with file type "2". I'm going to wipe, repartition and try again.... wish me luck!!

Yeah its bad to pull sdcard while the phone is on because thats where all your apps are installed on, if you pull card your phone will look for the apps but wont find them thus causing the fc's
I would do a clean flash and wipe because it sounds like you messed up your sdcard when you pulled it. I've been running this rom for about a week and haven't had a reboot or anything like that.
Make sure you backup your sdcard if you don't want to loose any of your pictures and stuff.
EDIT: make sure you do a ext wipe also.

Hey t2noob! Well I think I have it this time. I was worried that somehow my sd card was trashed. I was trying to wipe the ext and recovery was giving me an error saying that it was unable to wipe. I had to wipe it using ADB. I completely wiped like 3 times, repartitioned, flashed, and everything seems to be ok. I'm thinking my sd card is possibly on it's way out. Also, I'm hesitant to try putting the Davlik cache on the card. I'll check back in tomorrow if there are any issues. Everything else seems fine though. Do you know of anyway to check and see if there is an issue with the sd card or do they just crap out when their time is up?
Hello,
After rooting my Tattoo, I installed ROM manager and flashed the clockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.6 (for tattoo/click).
When I install the rom cyanogenmod 7 RC1 or RC2 (I try CM7 nightlybuild 19 as well) via clockworkmod, he said that the rom is successfully installed but when I launch the ROM, the ROM stucked on the tattoo boot screen (not on the CM7 boot screen, I never saw the CM7 boot screen).
Any idea to resolve my problem?
Thanks
Stuck for how long? About 2 minutes it is ok and then the CM boot logo come up.
First boot takes a long time.
Did you wipe your device before flashing CM ROM? If not do so in recovery menu. (wipe all, factory setting, clear cache etc...)
Same here. At first when i got boot screen, i thought i blew it, but it took few minutes to urn up...
it happened twice to me. Wipe cache at first ... if it doesn't boot, wipe all.
Good luck!
I wipe all before every flash.
I flash the rom "update-cm-7.0.0-RC2-click-signed.zip" and after the gapps "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip".
On my screen, I saw only "TATTOO". , I waited during 10 minutes...

try other rom file. and don't install gap yet. I had been there too.
I tried the rom "FroYo AOSP(2.2.2_r1) for Tattoo v0.3 released" and it works!
How can I install cyanogenmod 7? which rom can I use from cyanogenmod 7?
I tried repeating installation 6 times then it worked. I think install isn't clean. try again.
with which rom?
Try latest cyanogen rom rc - and here you will find all the info.
It's really great, try it.

I have the same problem. Today I've tried the RC3 without being able to boot it, stuck at Tattoo logo. Doing a logcat I see many "DEBUG" row. The previous nightly build 31 boot correctly but after a while hang and sometime the system reboot itself. The nFinityGB 0.92 and previous, despite being CyanogenMod based, runs correctly. I've not been able to figure why I have so many problem with a rom that for most people is rock solid.
Please let me know if nFinityGB rom works correctly.
Have had success booting RC2.2 & RC3
I have had no problems flashing or booting Cyanogen 7 RC2.2 and RC3, using Rom Manager from Android market.
The problem seems to be solved in RC3, but the default cpu speed is too high to boot without getting some instability. At the third try I've been able to get into cpu settings to lower the maximum speed to 615 MHz. Now it works without stabilty issues.
Hey guys someone please help me out...even im stuck with the same problem....
Boot LOOPs continuously... i dont find any solution to this... phone isnt working atol and if i want to get back to the stock rom it says "USB CCONNECTION ERROR" so im really in a bad situation here....

If you feel dare, you can use this little init script that i've created for personal use. It sets a maximum cpu frequency of 528MHz in the early boot phase, allowing the phone to be stable. Once the phone booted, you can change the cpu speed using the CM Settings menu.
To place it in the correct directory, you must use adb.
- Just download it somewhere in your computer
- rename it removing the .txt extension (the resulting name will be 02slowdown)
- normally flash the CyanogenMod rom and do not reboot
- connect the usb cable between the phone and the computer
- mount the /system partition using the Clockwork storage and mounts menu
- copy the script in the /system partition with the command
Code:
adb push 02slowdown /system/etc/init.d/
- change the script owner with
Code:
adb shell chown root:shell /system/etc/init.d/02slowdown
- change the permissions with
Code:
adb shell chmod 750 /system/etc/init.d/02slowdown
- reboot and cross your finger
Now the phone should boot regularly without getting nasty FC
Hope this will help someone.
There is another way to apply this workaround: you can open the zipped rom with 7zip or something like that and put the "02slowdown" script in the /system/etc/init.d subdirectory of the archive. I used this method to flash the cm7 stable version.
my first reboot took a bit longer too. I just waited and voilá. Droid skater and CM7 installed.

Hi,
I love Indroid 4:
Please reply to some of my querries.
1.) I have flashed Indroid 4.1, but when i check it in about fone tab it says "Indroid 4.0 Froyo HyperMix". As far as i know, i have be in 4.1 in order to apply update.zip. Please confirm if i am on 4.0 or 4.1.
2.) I flashed fugmod 2.4 alpha kernel for 1% battery mode, but it freezes 2 mins after restart. so I installed 2.2 kernel now its working fine. How can i have 1% battery mode now.
3.) What is the use of changing file syste.
4.) I am able to install themes none of them looks as good as the stock theme, i think many of the user will agree on this. How can I use the full theme (like changed look of phone, message, music player. As we have seen in case of crysis revolution screenshot.)
5.) How can we remove unnecessary apps from Indroid 4.1 which I dont want to use.
6.) In the download link for 4.2, there are many links for different updates, which one should I apply and where is the fix.bat.

A lot of questions i will try to answer
1) I think you still in v 4.0 when properly flash you will have cwm recovery
2) Flash 2.4 beta 3 to get 1% mod
3) File systems ext2, ext4 etc are considered better than most , just read through forums
all have their advantages and disadvantages.
4) Eh... use crysis revolution theme
5) Use titanium backup app to remove
6) First you have to be in v4.1 then copy update.zip to sdcard go to recovery , then select apply update.zip (menu selection use vol up and down)

Hey dear, thanx a lot for the reply. however reading through forums i have already updated to 4.2 and also flashed that 2.4 beta3 kernel and loving the 1% battery mode.
Till now i have not got proper answers for.
Why should i change my file systems. (I mean, i want to do it).
And how to apply a full crysis sensation theme including the apps.
Setting Up Data2Ext with RA 1.7 RecoveryI made this guide for my own personal future use and decided to share it with the community. I take no credit whatsoever for this information or the files used to install this mod on your phone. Credit for the guide goes to Laie1472 who spent several hours walking me through the process in the absence of good instructions for our device. If you don’t know what this mod does or could potentially do to/for your phone, don’t install it. Please read this entire guide before flashing or asking questions which may already have been answered. As the title states this is for users who have RA 1.7 Recovery installed. If you don’t have RA 1.7 recovery, you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10531580&postcount=5
Now on with the guide:
Step 1. Back up your sd card to your computer as this process will format and partition your sd card.
Step 2. Reboot into recovery and select partition sd (this will wipe everything on your card). You will be given 3 prompts….swap, ext. 2, & Fat 32. Partition as follows:
Swap=0
Ext2=1024
Fat32=remainder
Step 3. Since the above step erased everything on your sd card, now would be a good time to do a nandroid backup.
Step 4. Download & place on the root of your sd, the data2ext2-v7.zip attached to this thread, but DO NOT FLASH IT YET.
Step 5. Decide whether or not you’re going to use your current rom or install a new rom (easier). If you’re going to use your current, you’re going to want to uninstall all of your apps & theme in order to utilize the additional memory you’ll be freeing up on your phone. If you’re going to use a new rom download it & the appropriate gapps and move them to the root of your sd.
Step 6. Boot into recovery, wipe, and flash your new rom & gapps. Boot into your rom and sign in, but don’t install any of your apps.
Step 7. Reboot back into recovery and flash the data2ext2-v7.zip
Step 8. Boot into your rom & open Terminal Emulator.
Type the following commands minus the ( )
su
mount|egrep mmcblk0p2
(this should return nothing but a #)
Now type:
mke2fs -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(let the scripts run….when they finish you’ll type the next line)
data2ext --enable
(You should now be prompted to reboot, so type)
Reboot
Step 9. Once you’re rebooted go to settings/storage. You should now see .94 GB or so of available space… Congratulations you’re almost done.
Step 10. The performance boost. Open Terminal Emulator again and type:
su
busybox mount -o remount,noatime,nodiratime, /mnt/asec/ext/ext2 /data
reboot
Step 11. You’re finished, but before you re-install your apps read the You Should Know section of this guide.
You Should Know:Now say you want to make a backup of your rom and you have data2ext enabled
do this
Boot into recovery and choose backup and restore. Then choose
create nandroid+ext back up
after it's done always flash the data2ext zip and reboot.
Say aosp/cm/whoever releases an updated rom and you want to update your rom and keep all your apps and theme and settings
Do this
Boot into recovery and make a nand+ext back up by following the steps above. "you don't have to if you already have good backup''
Now wipe cache and davlik-cache and flash then flash the rom update then flash the data2ext zip and reboot
Say you want to flash a new kernel with data2ext enabled
Do this
Boot into recovery wipe cache and davlik-cache. Then flash the kernel then flash the data2ext zip and reboot.
If you ever need to wipe cache or davlik-cache always flash the data2ext zip right after then reboot
PLEASE NEVER WIPE THE SD EXT unless your redoing the whole mod or just want to start fresh
AGAIN NEVER WIPE THE SD EXT
this will more that likely result in a boot loop and make all your once good nands useless
and you might have to reflash your recovery
Say you want to flash a sense rom to update prl/profile.
Do this
Boot into recovery wipe data,cache and davlik cache
then flash sense rom and update.
Then reboot back into recovery wipe data,cache and davlik-cache then choose which nand you want to restore after it's done restoring flash the data2ext zip and reboot
Always flash the data2ext zip after doing a nand restore.
Also with this mod it's not recommended to let your battery die or do a battery pull. If you do you might have to reflash your recovery and redo the whole mod over.
Also only shut down you phone with the rom options
apps like quick shutdown and hot reboot etc will not play nice with this mod. So only use the roms power options to shut down.
If you ever want to disable this mod, open Terminal Emulator and type:
su
data2ext --disable
Nice, I should add this to my links thread, you think?

Need some help, I tried flashing data2ext2-v7.zip and this is what I get...
Code:
Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:No signature (10 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.
This was using the file in the OP with RA 1.7
Everything went fine, partitioned, wiped, fresh install of rom and gapps, rebooted, signed in, rebooted to recovery and then no go trying to flash data2ext
Any help would be great.
Try flashing this one. Let me know when you get it. Thanks.

Thanks a bunch. Got it and worked perfect. Just have to do the performance boost (What does that do really?) then going to look at the S-Off thing. I have put that off for a long time but might as well go for it.
Thanks to both of you for the nice tutorial here and the help.
Pm sent. And no prob glad you got it worked out. Also recommend s-off via darch's method.

Installed and so far so good. Hopefully this works much better then apps2sd did. That made me just about want to smash my phone it was lagging so bad. lol

OP has been updated with the SIGNED version of Data2ext.zip. Sorry Hippie, I uploaded the unsigned version to the guide. Thanks Laie1472 for hooking him up, while I was asleep.
I'm really considering this mod right now but have a concern with the battery pull portion of it since I have a 14-month old daughter that sometimes thinks the phone is a toy. lol
Question: If I disable the mod will it automatically move all /data back onto the phone? Assuming of course I have enough internal memory for it to be moved over, will it transfer automatically?
Really good write-up, thanks for taking the time to do so.

No problem at all. Your guide worked perfect and turns out it was super easy.
I also am happy to be back RA Recovery. Was using Clockwork for a short while and while its nice, RA is much better I think. Thats just me though.
Got me a **** ton of space now and phone is moving right along again. Thanks again guys.

I've been using this mod for a couple of weeks now and have had to do a couple of battery pulls with no negative effects on my phone. There are obviously things that can go wrong, but no guarantees they will. I've enabled it, disabled it, gone back to a sense rom, updated my Orlando & gone back without trouble....but you wont know for sure how your phone responds until you try it.

No problem, just back everything up to your pc and do a nand backup before you start and you have nothing to lose and about 3/4 gb of storage to gain
At step 8 I get "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!" when I input mke2fs -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2. The only deviation I made is I had to get a TE from the market since the one that comes with jaybob's rom won't accept numerical input.

I've never run Jaybob's rom, so I'm not sure if this is a rom specific thing, because I have used it on Deck's Gingerbread, Aosp, & CM7. What did you get when you typed:
su
mount|egrep mmcblk0p2
That should have returned only: #
Also which terminal emulator did you get from the market (I use Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich) and were you using the default gingerbread keyboard (as opposed to swype, slide it, etc.)?

I was using the default GB keyboard, and I got the same TE from the market. When I typed mount|egrep mmcblk0p2 I get "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=writeback)" then it goes back to just #. I was burned out last night, now I can think again. Seems like maybe the ext partition is ext3 when it should be ext2? I'm using RA 1.7 and I followed the directions for partitioning the sdcard.
About a year ago I used apps to SD for a short while then stopped, is it possible that the ext part from then is still there and conflicting with the new partition from RA 1.7? I would have thought it would be wiped during the new partitioning. The only ext visible from TE is the new one, but that's all I can come up with.
I installed the setup last night without a hitch. Using Kushdeck's latest ROM and so far so good. Re-installed all my apps from Titanium Backup without a problem and everything going smooth. Once again, thanks for the detailed how-to and informative comments to update the ROM
Here is just some of what is changed. Mine isn't just a stock port, mine has stuff removed. dave71670's Salty Rom is in the second post.
Now without further ado, here is my V26 Test Release
Wipe Data/Factory Reset/Wipe Dalvik Cache/Flash Rom/Flash Addons/Advanced Fix Permissions In Recovery. If your power button randomly stops working from flashing my rom or anything else happens and you blame me I am going to laugh at you. If you do not know what you are doing, don't attempt to flash it. If you break it you fix it, I will help, but I am not responsible for anything.
My V26 Test Build = http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?iv6mz6cr82l663p
V26 Addons (Same As V25) = http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ja32agzq3o82ky3
Removed Apps & Files Folder (Some of them are newer than the old folder) = http://www.mediafire.com/?c0f17oxct7dq5
I am calling it a test release at this point, since I haven't ran it more than about an hour. I haven't had any problems though. If coming from CM10 or something else you will more than likely need to flash twice, first flash will go to around 15% and flash the kernel and reboot, second flash will go all the way and say install complete.
Changelog :
Based on 09/04/2012 Helly Bean
MMS updated with pop up notifications
Added https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.GSII_Repair&hl=en to the rom since I have noticed people complaining of losing there EFS folder a lot lately. I would download this on your current rom and back it up as long as you imei is correct, just to have it for all future releases of my rom or whoevers rom you decide to go to in case you ever lose your EFS folder which has your IMEI. It is a small app, is free and works great, I tried it by backing it up on my phone and then deleting my efs folder, then restoring it later with this program after I got the generic imei error. Credits go to Helroz for the app
Old Version Still Available V25 Rom = http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mlet0rdrlduzl8k

Changelog =
Compiled from latest source of CM10 which you can find the changelog at http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#captivatemtd/cm10/next
renamed the two navbar menus
More Build.prop tweaks
Edited Build.Prop Look In About Phone
Kernel in rom is always the latest VC Kernel
Updated GPS Config
Changed Boot Animation, Wait for a few seconds on boot up if you think it froze, It did not.
Changed Modem To KC1
Changed Updater.sh to Flash Modem if you have a modem already installed or not.
I have also created what I would like to call Cbalts Launcher Program. I have 4 launchers in the removed files folder, Apex, Nova, Trebuchet, And Zeam. You can flash any of them and it will remove the default zeam, to get zeam back flash Removal Tool.zip which will remove all 4 of the launchers if you decide to install all four of them at once. Then reflash the launcher of your choice and that will be the only launcher you have. If you do not reflash a launcher after flashing Removal Tool.zip you will not have a launcher. All launchers remove zeam, but the zeam launcher, I set it up that way since zeam is the default launcher. If you want a new launcher, tell me your choice and link me to it and I will make a flashable zip for it.

Okay, since someone else already grabbed above me, I gotta say this.
This boot animation (cbalt) is beyond atrocious. The idea is not to have as much **** fly over the screen as possible. The last image looks like a 10 year old + ms paint.
Look at slim ics' animation. That one does it's job, looks good and classy.
I know I'm coming off as a troll, but it needs to be said.
I look forward to the rest of the ROM. Thanks a lot. I do really appreciate it.
I think the separate thread was a good idea.
Cool!
I may check this ROM out.
You may want to create a zip file for those who want to add back on any of the removed stuff.
I woud not need this as I use Titanium Backup.:victory:
factory reset?
is factory reset really necessary? i thought wipe data, cache partition and dalvik would be sufficient. and fix permissions too.
charging my cappy now. will report on the rom later.

Probably a wise idea since you are coming from a different JB ROM or an ICS ROM or GB.
I would imagine that subsequent flashes of this ROM would not require a factory reset or /system wipe once you are on this ROM.

Wipe data and factory reset are one and the same. Next time you flash take a look in recovery.

now that you mentioned it, it does looks familiar 'wipe data / factory reset' in cwm. initially i thought factory reset means formatting internal storage. i don't want that to happen.

I personally recommend a wipe every update of this rom, just to help avoid issues, since dirty flashing is never ideal. Yes you can dirty flash, would I do it no, I wipe every time even if it is just a little change I did in the rom, I like to try and avoid issues as much as possible.
Full wipe it is - format /system, too?
Anyways, you need to update your sig/link:

Yes I would do that to. Why do I need to update my sig? That link works. I still spend most of my time in CWM Flashing roms (mostly my versions though) .
Sounds like you've got a great rom here. The change log is GREATLY appreciated. Could you fill me in on the difference between "my v13" and devil v13 please. Do the "nightly 8/1 changes" apply to only the devil edition or your v13 as well? Thank you!

Most of the difference is the stuff that is removed from devils version in my version. There are some other differences, such as some build.prop changes, updater-script changes, gps changes and some other stuff. If you look at the first post it will show must of the stuff I removed.
PS I am working on CWM Flashable Zips to Restore All Apps I removed and then Individual Zips to restore just one app that you want or more than one. Also working on a flashable zip to restore media aka notifications, system sounds etc.

Yes they do, since his rom is my base that I improve more to my liking since I like a slimmer rom personally and dont use all the stuff I removed. He rom is an amazing rom and is perfect if you use all the stuff he includes.
quick question, if i am on Devil Edition V13 Aka 0801 Build, but want to try cbalt's V13 Release, does that require a wipe / factory reset? or could i just wipe cache and dalvik and flash?
pros - quick boot time, snappier than DerTeufel1980's V10 (rom which i was from), benchmarks show better scores than my previous rom (antutu, quadrant, linpack,nenamark,smartbench)
cons- not sure what you want to show in your bootanimation but i've seen better ones. changelog contains negativity. i don't know what happened between you and those 3 people but including rage in your rom does create some perceptions among users, at least me.
nonetheless, keep up the good work! with less anger perhaps

Was my first animation, haven't had time to create another one and improve on that one. If you don't like what I put in the changelog and don't like the rom, then don't install it. Simple as that. I make the rom primarily for me and share it to be nice.
Btw im not angry.
Updated OP-Included Folder with all removed files.
Wasn't sure which thread to post in:
Running Der Teufel version and only issue I'm noticing is SDCard not being mounted after a reboot. Have had to go into Settings -> Storage -> select Mount SDCard each time. This also causes my default ringtone/notification to show as "Unknown" and has to be reset.
Anyone else having similar issues?
