[ROM][Updated 04/08/11]De-sensed DAS_BAMF 1.4 Non-Themed[ROM]

This is DAS_BAMF 1.4 non-themed as much as I could get it. I did this for myself but a couple people were interested so with Adrynalyne's blessing I decided to post it up for those that do not like sense. I used Go Launcher EX to replace Rosie(sense launcher) and also included the free Go SMS Pro, and Go Missed Notifications (if you want to use a different launcher you can adb push to /system/app/ or just open the ROM zip with 7zip and remove GO Launcher and replace with Launcher Pro, or ADW, etc)
IF YOU BORK YOUR PHONE, THAT'S ON YOU
Instructions
1. MAKE A BACKUP
2. Wipe data/cache/system/dalvik
2. Download ROM
3. Flash ROM via CWR
4. Download one of Adryn's kernels from ROM Manager (under MrBobrowitz's section) or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014239
5. Flash kernel
6. Be happy
Note: there seems to be a little bug with all 3rd party launchers where if you you hit the phone button and the dialer pops up, the contact list is blank and the smart dial does not work. To remedy this long press phone, select a new application and restart Launcher Pro then add the phone back, you may also have to open up the dialer and try to dial a few numbers and delete them and the contacts should appear. Not really sure why this happens.
Again, I did this for me, so I won't be offering any real support for it, and I seriously doubt Adrynalyne will either so flash at your own risk. I have been running this for a couple days and it has been working very well for me, and I will probably keep running it until something compelling is released, with that said, have fun and flash away.
All credit goes to Adrynalyne and ThatDudeButch and anyone else that had anything to do with Das_BAMF

I forgot to add the GO Launcher Notifications, you can find them on the Android Market or here:

Additional Kernels:
You know where to find them, there's a lot floating around right now...

Thanks! I'll give this a shot!

It's very snappy with adrynalyne's oc kernal. The dialer thing did bug me, but resetting the launcher button seems to have fixed it. Thanks.

the reason for the lp bug is the default path to the dialer...htc's path is different then the aosp (which is why it has to be reset)

CM7 GPS

I can't get it to work, no matter what. I've tried the MSL fix, etc etc. The closes fix I get is about 7~10 blocks away.
Why is it that it won't work in CM7, but works PERFECTLY out of the box in Salvage-Mod?

Try the app "GPS Status and Toolbox" from the market. That got GPS working for me.

Have you tried the nightly that came out after cm7 final? Downloading gps status and clearing gps data might help.

Nightly tonight should have it fixed, I think. I think they're implementing the gps drivers from the dump yesterday.

The open source drivers provided by Qualcomm don't work.
The proprietary drivers were used in CM6, too.

I did the MSL fix to get my GPS working, but ever since then the "active" icon shows in the status bar even when I stop using navigation or maps. I actually think the gps stays active because I experience severe battery drain. Even when I disable the gps the icon stays active. I have to manually reboot for it to finally go away. Grr.

enter the ##gpsclrx# your phone reboots, while still in sense lock your GPS using navigation once it locks on reboot recovery and flash cm7. That's what I was told and it works 100% of the time for me.

Get "GPS Status & toolbolx" from market and either way go to tools, manage a-gps, hit reset, this will make the icon disappear and it will clear the gps data and get a better lock.

Make a Nandroid of your current CM7 setup.
Boot into recovery and perform a full wipe (or use Calkulin Format ALL zip)
Flash any Sense ROM
Open the Market and download MSL Reader, write down MSL.
Open Dialer/Phone and type ##4118513# (##GPSCLRX#)
When it asks you for a password type in your MSL
Reboot phone
BE OUTSIDE
Turn on GPS and open Maps, allow it to fully lock your location (may take a few minutes, do not just wait for initial lock).
Leave GPS on
Turn off phone, reboot into recovery.
Nandroid restore your CM7 backup

___________________________________________

just curious, what do you mean by a complete lock (more notably it taking a few minutes)? i've never had a gps lock take longer than a few seconds while i'm outside. it might be off by a few blocks, but it always locks really quickly (it was really bad while i was in LA last week).
it should also be noted that i have an incredible, not an evo...but after my gps issues last week while on vacation in california (and using my phone a lot for navigation) i've begun the search for a solution, because i really love CM7 otherwise. while in downtown LA i was consistently getting a "lock" that was a few blocks away from where i was, making navigation useless. it also happened a few times on the 60 freeway on the way into the city, where the phone thought i had gotten off the freeway and would start telling me to turn all over the place even though i was still driving along at 70mph on the freeway...

I saw a few people posting this in the cm7 thread. Looks like it's working great for them on the EVO too.

[Q] EL30 vs MTD or just wait

So I've stuck with BML through several different Roms. I originally rooted because I needed working gps and wifi. I had decided I was going to switch to MTD this weekend but now I'm not so sure. Any suggestions?

If I was in ur spot I would probably just wait and see what happens with el30
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

There's no gps fix in el30 as far as I've seen... just make the move eventually they will have el30 mtd roms within a week or two
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

cm7 or miui ROM is best for me... Im using miui and not switching til cm9 gets here.. try miui rom and u will see wat i mean..LOL
its different with more feature than TW roms has to offer..

Hmmm..I guess I would wait for your favorite ROM to do all the upgrades, grab the modem and then convert to MTD. Should be about a week.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I switched to MTD so I could run CM7, as well as my FAV ROM that I converted over, but besides the loads of extra space, it hasn't been much different.
If you want to try CM7, backup your fav BML setups, convert them to MTD, install CM7, the switch as you like.
But unless you are going to checkout CM7, I would stick with BML until EL30 ROMs come out, then jump.
This Epic post as brought to you via Tapatalk

sounds like a good time to try CM7 or MIUI.US. ran cm7 for a week, switched to MIUI.US for a week.
Most likely the devs will come out with a good MTD rom do you don't have to odin back to RFS to go back to EL30.

lol EL30 is just a fix we have already had on cm7 and most any other EI22 rom for months now i say waste of time stick with MTD CM7 is a dream and with now official nightly updates it gets no better then that.

CM7 sounds really good, but is it ready for daily use in a business? I can flash every couple weeks and need emails, texts, gps navigation and working phone. I don't mind testing and installing different apps but reading the cm7 thread... well maybe it is just some of the noob questions. Is it ready for daily use?

Okay
Emails - works just the same
Texts- the only issue with this is that you have to go into the messaging settings and split messages(not really an issue but there's a fix)
Gps- works better than on TouchWiz ROMs although I've never used navigation
Phone- only sight difference is when a call is ended it says "call lost" mightve been fixed idk don't make to much calls myself. But once again not really an issue, the call still ends the same.
So as you see its more than ready for daily use

Well email app has no way to pick "always show pictures" so using K9 is better.
MMS does not send over wifi with stock mms.apk but works with GoSMS.
Calls end normally now from what I saw.
There are even some ported TW stock apps in Apps subforum.

Yes, that is what happens but it is more like 50/50, like it doesn't wait long enopugh for 3G to connect. But GoSMS doesn't switch to 3G, sends right over wifi.

I remember reading a change log on the recent nightlies where the mms over wifi was fixed.

if my phone just doesn't like working the gps with roms, that'll really suck.

CM7 broke my GPS. I figured out though if you download GPS Status in the Android market and go to tools than Magellan GPS state it will lock on your coordinates. Than just open the GPS program of your choice. Hope it works for you.

It's a legitimate request I've seen before. I mean, why let your old devices just waste away when your children or family members could totally use them as dirt cheap replacements for iPods and such. You don't want them making accidental emergency calls or circumventing the settings you put in place.
Should be able to completely remove the radio somehow so that the cellular stuff just won't work.

Maybe this is a project for some of the budding devs on xda. In theory, it sounds like a simple change. Simply remove the phone aspects of a rom and repackage. I'm sure it's harder than it sounds in terms of stability and usability though (I'm not a dev) =/

Eh, some apps certainly wouldn't work, anything that needs to communicate through telephony and such. But really shouldn't be that difficult.
I'll come back when I'm not too terribly busy with some links about breaking down and customizing ROMs and such. I know that I've found a thread specifically for this kind of thing for another device, but there are a few of them I read up on so it may take a while to locate. Hell, you could just about remove the phone and contacts apps and edit your build.prop and leave an existing ROM intact. I'm no dev or anything though lol so I'll look around.

Not the OG article I had read, but after a bit of Googling I came up with a script that you should be able to set to run at boot which will disable your radio.
You may also be able to dial *#*#INFO#*#* and choose turn off radio, but that will not be persistent across reboots. I would use the script and a third-party launcher that can hide apps so that you'll keep the phone and contacts apps and such for stability, but not have them readily available.
*EDIT:
And a flashable zip! Thank you jellybellys!
**EDIT:
Just to elaborate about that flashable zip, it will actually "permanently" (until you wipe and install another ROM) disable the radio and clean out the apps that you don't want. Also installs some kind of binaries if they're currently absent from the ROM. Great find, I'm glad you asked about this!

exactly, my first thought would be just to use titanium backup and disable/freeze but not remove apps such as dialer or what you dont want/need. not sure if this will work but its worth a try. probably a few treads across xda on this (especially on older model phones) id search in those and see if there is a quick answer short of developing a whole new rom

Yeah I use that zip from jellybean but like android.process forced close alone with like sms app this is all on miui

So you used the zip, and once booted those processes were force closing?

Installed on EliteMod 120316 and upon first boot did get something about the mms process FC'ing. Upon subsequent reboots no more message though, have you tried another reboot? You had two processes FC?

So that's the MIUI.us "Pure English?" I've just downloaded the last available build and will soon flash and then install jellybellys's zip. I'm hoping that will get me the same FC's as you are.
Once you've gotten home after the weekend, try rebooting it a time or two and see if it consistently gives you the FC's.
Also, just curious, but are you using MIUI just because it's the most similar Android overlay to iOS? To make it a bit easier for your friend? Because you could hook him up with some ICS goodness otherwise
*EDIT:
Ok, looking through his updater-script vs. my /system/app/ directory, it looks like MIUI names a couple of apk's differently. I'm currently installing a fresh MIUI so that I can see the directory before moddified by the OG jellybellys zip, then I'll update his zip to reflect those different names and try to run it again. If successful, I'll post the modified file and hopefully we can get your friend a fun little multi-tasking media player

Ok sweet umm can u send me the edit zip
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2

Had a good look at the flashable zip, very simple. I need to learn to code, I guess this is a good small place to start lol
All I did was unzip his file, change a few things and added a couple extra lines to remove one more app he hadn't worried with. As said above this will disable your radio, install the radiooptions binary if absent, and remove a number of apk's from the /system/app/ directory.
Removed apps:
TelephonyProvider.apk - cellular service
TelocationProvider.apk - emergency location service (I just don't see the need if you're not connecting to cellular networks)
Phone.apk - your phone app - should also get rid of dialer, I'm trying to find out why it doesn't.
Mms.apk - messaging app
All credit to jellybellys @ rootzwiki.com of course, I couldn't have written this myself or anything.

Again, the phone app will still be on the homescreen and you actually can't remove it. It won't dial anything, and will just cause the acore process to FC if you try. It's looking like the only way to get it really removed is to modify the ROM's zip so that it never installs the app to begin with.
I'm going to restore the apps again, see if Titanium Backup can't do a better job than outright removing the app does.
