Absolutely minimilistic ROM?

Does anyone know any ROM for Galaxy S that contains the default experience? I want no Samsung crap apart from the e-book reader(I might be interested in it). Would it be possible to achieve this? It will be great if its based on Froyo.

OH MY GOD! Are you for real?!? Finally a rom without the touchwiz??
Thank you very much man, been waiting for this since I bought the phone!

I guess U must thank the creator - LeshaK and somebody else, who posted this link in another thread on XDA
Have fun and remember that this kitchen is based on JPC and some ppl have problems with this ROM version.

Lol, spoken too early! Thought this had stock android launcher and apps (like stock calendar, clock, etc.)...I was wrong!

Can you remove touchwiz?

Yeah I did see that... unfortunately it doesn't provide basic info like what firmware is required for flashing it (I'm currently on jm7) and there are no screenshots to see it running

JM7 seems to work from what I can tell from the posts there, but you are right of course. He should update the first post with some basic information...

Help a RC : Give Me Some Frequently Asked Questions for the FAQ

Hey guys its me
Well per the requests of the RC Forum i have been asked to create a FAQ For the Xperia Play using a template that is going to be used on all device forums
You can see what i got so far here

I need you guys to help add more to it and maybe more links to help make it even easier.

Use this format if you want to be extra helpful and make me have to do less work.

[INDENT]Replace this block of text with a short answer for the above question. If the answer is complicated or otherwise lengthy, avoid the temptation to provide a full answer here. If the answer is truly that involved, this should be answered in another thread outside of this document.

If any one wants to create a up to date ROM Index that would be great, if you do decide to create one make sure to mark whether the ROM is multiboot aware or not.

Seriously no one wants to help ? LOL

Nice job on FAQ= ) I really don't see anything missing from the top of my head, but if i do i'll tell what

Here's another one:
[SIZE=+1]Can I flash a custom rom over another rom without wiping?[/SIZE]
Yes, but only if you update your current rom. Not if you flash an entirely new one.​
Will probably need a little of reworking too

[Q] New S5, best setup to remove bloat, root and sim free

hi guys,
just got today an S5 and quite happy with it so far.
I would like to do few things on it, hope you can suggest me the best way:
- get root (Lollipop 5.0, possibly keeping Knox unaltered)
- remove bloatware (especially my magazine)
- make it sim free, I belive is locked to the operator, got it on contract
can you please recommend what's best for doing those 3 things?
thanks a lot,
Gabrio

how about you read the forum, jesus christ it's right there in front of you.

hello Lingo, thanks for your reply
that is what i have been doing for the past 2-3 hours and because i know it's sometimes confusing, i was asking in advance. May i ask you to not swear with the name of our Lord? it's not pleasing to him and there's no need doing it. thank you

If you really had been looking for the last 2 hours, my dear sir, surely you would have noticed the stickied threads which answer all of your questions. One particular thread will even tell you that these kind of posts don't belong here in "General". Good day to you.

here's a few useful threads to get you started:
General advice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700073
How to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
If you just want to remove bloat from your current rom, I'd recommend smart debloater: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-smart-debloater-t2802034
But if you want a new/customisable rom check out Phoenix rom where you can pick and choose what you flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741302
To make it sim-free, you'll need to get an unlock code either from your network or maybe off somewhere like ebay.
Hope that helps

thanks so much those are really helpful... if you could help me with one more thing which I found and is really off (again on this model)....I would love to edit the SMS_Candy.apk and disable SMS to MMS conversion after 480 chars or tricky it, I remember on my sgs2 I did a mod and basically increased that to "after 99 SMS convert to MMS" which did the trick nicely. I had a look at the files and it seems more complicated on Lollipop 5.0? do you know by chance? thanks a lot!

TBH, most custom roms will have that mod already included, I think phoenix rom has it

thanks, still searching if I can do just that mod.

creating a custom rom

Is there any good tutorials for creating a custom rom. I'm starting to try to learn but am stuck at the moment. I am using the paid version of SuperR Kitchen. Ive had help getting all the necessary tools and and files needed, I've made it as far as deodexing, and removing Knox, I've added busy box (not sure if it was done correct). But kinda stuck with what to do next. Ive searched all over for a guide on what to do next but everything i come across is for unlocked bootloaders. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm wanting to learn so that i can help contribute to the community here since it seems most of the AT&T devs either skipped the S7 or have moved onto a different device.

Well although i did not get any response from anyone, i have finally figured out how to create a custom rom thanks @stang5litre for all the help and advice you have me. And to @SuperR. for his work on the kitchen.

Yea stang has been helping me a lot. Pretty much step by step. If i have a question i go to him. Lol. And i have lots of questions. There's a lot more to it than i thought. All the tools you need and to have them set up correct and what not. If recommend getting SuperRs kitchen also. I use the donate version, it's only 10 bucks and he updates it very often. I say i built the rom but heck, stang set up the tools, and told me step by step on what to do, so basically i just pushed numbers. Lol.

Sorry I have no idea how to make a custom rom but, this is awesome! I really want an AT&T custom rom if you're working on that good luck man and if not still good luck! Have fun!! Cheers

I've created a rom in MM. It's plane jane. Basically just seeing what I can do. All I've added is 3 mint clock, 3 mini battery, and gradient status bar. But still a success to me just to get it to boot. Lol. I'm working on N but haven't been able to get it to boot yet. I keep getting errors once it starts the symlink process, and i don't understand symlink yet. But even when I do, it'll still be pretty plane just because I'm still learning. Lol. But if your looking for a rom to run right know, stang5litre has am awesome MM over in the Verizon forum. The only thing that i noticed that didn't work for us on AT&T was WiFi calling. He's also working on one for N.

Can someone guide me to root latest stock rom, bl locked?

Thank you so much, but isn't it very old post? Will it work with latest firmware?

I have no idea. You wrote that you didn't find a guid, so I gave you one. Look for videos on youtube.
I am generally not a rooting enthusiast.
