Hi, guys.

I've made a rom for my own use. But I'd like to share it with you all.

Actually, I didn't cook the rom alone.

I got big help from wes58, twu2 ,Rapid81 and nOObody.

I used wes58's great kitchen and learned lots of cooking skills from the great Master.

twu2's tutorial and tools gave me great help to make my own lite rom.

Rapid81 and nOObody's Sense2.5 is really great.The all-in-one cab make us enjoy the Sense2.5 so easily.

Especially thank you all!!!

Other credits for contributions to my work:

quattro formaggi for the rom downloader

Sorg for rom dumping tool

Ginkage and Chainfire for their great contribution to make the Sense2.5 on O2

For those who don't know, real magic behing Sense running on O2 is their work

All the great cookers bring us lots of cooking knowledge and wonderful roms

Thx to you All!!!

Everything removed could be found in twu2's thread at here

Note:

1. I recommand you to flash the rom with official rom version's eboot, phone and erase the csc(In octans2.14, there's a opion named "erase the csc" between "Phone" button and "Intergrated" button.Choose it when you flash a new rom, then the CSC could be erased.) using Octan2.14 and make a hardreset after flashing, as how I tested it.

The "Hardreset" I mean is just doing as belows, which won't erase "My stroage":

1)Turn your I8000 off.

2)Keep the following buttons pressed ( until format ): the top right button (screenlock) + top left button (volume up) + bottom left button ( dial) + bottom right button(off dial)

3) Presses dial to confirm

2. Though twu2 said"Photo Album (Photo), File Manager (My Files), SharePix (Communities) may be used by Camera, so install them if you need Camera", the Camera does work without any problem for me with none of them installed. But if there happen to be any problem, install them.

3. You need to reboot the device after install FM Radio.

4. Execute 'Restore Connections' in 'Samsung Settings' if you can't use data link for 3.5G or via ActiveSync

5. You need to flash the official rom before flash lite rom if you want to use PowerDic (the files in my storage hidden partition).

6.The Sense2.5 is based on Rapid81 and nOObody's. So it's supposed to work as their rom. But of course, there could be some unknown bugs or crashes.

1).The tabs I've tested works well are home, people, message, stocks, weather, music , photo, calendar and almost all settings.

2).I never use the phone to deal with emails, so I haven't tested the mail tab.

3).Twitter and facebook are blocked in China, so I don't know wether they works.

4).The Internet tab can't be used as I removed the opera mobile 9. I tried to install twu2's opera mobile 9 cab with no success.But it works perfectly after I download and install opera mobile 10!!!

5).Recent Documents tab can be used. But you can't open the pdf nor the office files as I removed the Adobe Reader and office.If you want to use it to open pdf and office files directly, you may need to install them.

As you all see, maybe I'm not a cooker nor a good programer. I cooked the rom for my own use and share it with you all. So the rom may not be useful for someone and may bring you some trouble. If this happens, I'll try my best to help you and you can choose other roms.The choice is yours.Thank you for your understanding.

I take no responsibility for any problems with flashing or using my rom.So be carefull and you'd better make a good backup before you flash it.

Attention:

The opera 9 in the "all_cab" can't work.You should download and install opera mobile 10 instead.

2.As it's a 6.5.3 rom, you may need use "showcase" at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4030896

or "xhook" at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606162

or "AMeBa" at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583002

and so on to make the "X" available again.

3.Great recommand you to use some Sense Extra and Fixes as Rapid81 provided at his thread Post #3:

http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000-omnia-...2-5-rom-nxxjd6/

And if you come across some Sense2.5 problem, going through his thread will definetly give you great help as my Sense2.5 is provided by him.

Great thx to you, Rapid81 and nOObody!

4.For people who's not used to wm6.5.3 or think it's ugly, you can have a look at tacchan23's themes here:

http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000-verizo...n23black-theme/

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach...st&id=51779

6.Big recommand you to use Background 4 All Tabs, CookieHomeTap 1.6.1 then the CHTEditor 1.6.1(Don't use their 1.7.x version as there may be some bugs) to make the Sense2.5 easier to use, and the best install order should be like belows:

1)Background 4 All Tabs:

Background_4_All_Pages.cab

2)CookieHomeTap 1.6.1:

Co0kie.HomeTab_v1.6.1.cab

Known issues Q & A:

1.Q:Is there any problem on AS with win7 or Vista?

A:I'm using Vista now.Never experiened any problem on AS.So I suppose there's no problem with win7, either.

2.Q:The opera mobile 9 can't work???

A:No, the version of twu2's can't work now...What a big pity...But you can use opear mini 5 or opera mobile 10 instead.Both of them work perfectly, especailly the opera mobile 10, which could make the Internet tab available!!!

I only provide the opera mini 5 beta here as the opera mobile 10 is too big to upload as attached.But it's easy and free to be found at the Internet with Google's help.

opera mini 5 beta:opera_mini_5_beta.cab

3.Q:How much memory you get after a day of use?

A:Well, it depends.As for me, who usually use it to get on the Internet, I got about 50MB.

4.Q:Can we change the wallpaper for the lock screen?

A:As I removed the slide lock screen, I haven't tried to change the wallpaper of the lock screen.

But after I installed the default lock screen twu2 provided, it's easy to be changed in the settings of Sense2.5.

5. Q:Need to install google maps to update weather?

A:No. It's in the ROM.You can easily find the GoogleMaps.exe at \windows and easily make a lnk of it to the start menu with the help of resco explorer , total commander or other file explorer programs.

6.Q:Can't login to facebook or twitter in Sense2.5???

A: I feel very sorry about this. As they're all blocked in China, I couldn't got a chance to check or repair them.

There's the facebook.exe at \windows , you can check wether it works or not.

For the twitter, I can set up my account name and password at the Sense2.5, but can't login. I really don't know wether due to it's bolcked in China or some programs it need I removed...

7.Q:Facebook login problem solution???

A:try these steps:

* Fill your contact card at the contacts

* Synchronize with MS MyPhone

* In your contact card, at the bottom, tap on the "Link to Facebook" ang login

* Enjoy this too!

8.Q:Is the backlight too dim?

A:The backligh it set to auto by default.You can set brightness not to auto and increase it at Samsung Setting->Display and Light->Brightness.

9.Q:Why does the touch player stop when I'm listening to the music?

A:Please make sure 'Enable etiquette pause' is not selceted in Samsung Settings->General Settings->Motion Settings->Etiquette.

10.Q:Can't see the sender's contact ID (their name) in SMS?

A:Change HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIdMatch value to 8, then soft reset.

11.Q:Where's the samsung's sms? Is it still in the rom?

A:Yes.It's named SMS-MMS.exe in windows folder. You can make a shorcut of it to the startmenu easily with Resco Explorer, total commandar or so on.

12.Q:How to disable phone's auto connect to GPRS after every soft reset?

A:1.Make sure XIRA is diabled.

Samsung settings->Network Setttings->GPS->XTRA,make all options disabled.

2.Disable Manila weather's auto updating.

Manlila's Weather tab->Menu->Settings,disable "Download data automatically".

If it doesn't work, you could try nodata.cab at here.

Thank for the reply and I also already flashed it. It was stable and fast. No problem so far. wmwifirouterV2, ucweb(Chinese) and voicebook2 plus all other programs were working fine.

Your ROM was good because the Regional language setting and networks connections still there. Not fancy show on screen but very practical approach.

I enjoy your ROM and kept the good works.

WOW great you released it, sorry dint get a chance to flash it and give you my feedback got so busy with family. So all the tabs and everything works, that's great. This one might be a keeper for a long time for me. It seems it still uses to much memory 20ishMB coz stock tw2 gives around 90MB and usable memory shows 71MB, i would like to know how much memory you get after a day of use?

Yes, it seems so.

But there still may be some problem as I've mentioned above.

You can try this first to see wether it fits you.

What's the big advantage is there's no need to install the Sense2.5 with my rom, which is really a long time waiting.
