May I ask why? What's the advantage in putting onto SD card what can otherwise sit in the on-board Flash (that I assume is only used for the ROM)? Or does the ROM actually share on-chip Flash with the rest of the system such that minimising it's size is actually of some benefit to the system?

If you try and build a ROM with too many features selected, will the Kitchen tell you that, or will it just fail at flashing time? Or will the space allocated to the ROM on the phone always expand to suit the ROM image?

Left over behaviour from Windows Mobile, where reducing ROM contents would improve performance a bit.

It should have no effect on Android. But i'm just used to it.

Ran the Rom with the old Facebook 1.2 and had back normal battery (WCDMA Only Setting) 84% since 7:00, Ten minutes of BT Stereo headset streaming and one mannual sync and a bit of using the calc. (reception sucks at my work so that takes a bit more)

Tommorow i wil give it a go with same conditions but Facebook 1.3.1

Also, a little bump for editing the default.xml file in /system/customize/CID - could do it in the old leaked r5 ROM so that it doesn't show Flickr in the setup wizard (as I remove it from the ROM) - can't do it in this ROM as the default.xml file is different...anyone know how to do this?

The section removed was

<module name="OOBE">

	  <function name="Block_No_SIM">

		<set name="single">

		  <item name="Default" type="boolean">no</item>

		</set>

	  </function>

	  <function name="Step_Config">

		<set name="single">

		  <item name="Set_Language" type="boolean">yes</item>

		  <item name="SIP_Tutorial" type="boolean">yes</item>

		  <item name="Sync_Data" type="boolean">no</item>

		  <item name="Wi-Fi" type="boolean">yes</item>

		  <item name="Data_Sync" type="boolean">no</item>

		  <item name="Account_Setup" type="boolean">yes</item>

		  <item name="Social_Network_Setup" type="boolean">no</item>

		  <item name="Tutorial" type="boolean">yes</item>

		</set>

	  </function>

	  <function name="Data_Sync_Config">

		<set name="single">

		  <item name="Default" type="boolean">yes</item>

		</set>

	  </function>

	  <function name="Account_Config">

		<set name="single">

		  <item name="Set_HTC_Home" type="boolean">no</item>

		</set>

	  </function>

	</module>
Some parts are still in the HTC__01.xml You will need to add 
<module name="OOBE">

 <function name="Social_Network_Config">

		<set name="single">

		  <item name="Facebook" type="boolean">yes</item>

		  <item name="Flickr" type="boolean">no</item>

		  <item name="Twitter" type="boolean">yes</item>

		  <item name="Plurk" type="boolean">no</item>

		</set>

	  </function>

</module>
Just above 
</category>

  <BootConfiguration>

at the bottom of the xml file.

I've not tested this, but it should work.

According to Cyanogen superuser 2.3 is out on XDA. Is it too late to have this in the ROM?

Hello Paul,

Had the R7 for a week now and all has been good, nice work.

If I have one wish , it is this... is it possible to include a font zip or option that can allow us to change the general font size, or even just for text messages? Can't understand why this has been left off, been years since haven't had this facility.

Thanks

Shouldn't Fonts you place in a custom.zip file overwrite the already present fonts?

Have you tried this?

(again personally I also replace the present fonts to a bit bolder Font, but not by using a custom.zip so i don't know if this works. But it should)

I like the thought of doing this (adding my own apps to the Bake), for my next ROM flash once r8 is up.

BUT, I have a problem with this...

I still don't understand the folder structure for files you want to install as part of your own ROM.

How do I know whether to use \system\app\whatever.apk OR \data\app\whatever.apk

Does one do ROM and the other to SD card, and moreover, if so, how do I know which needs to go where?

Finally, where would I get Foursquare's current, up to date .apk file from to be able to include this then?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I believe that Apps installed to \Data\app are un-installable/removable and in \System\app aren't.

But I don't know if Apps in \Data\app will go to the A2SD+ partitions :)

But i'm pretty sure some one else can shed a bit of light on this.

/system/app = read only system apps (limited space). Not uninstallable.

/data/app = user installed apps, these are moved to A2SD. Uninstallable.

r8 coming up shortly. :)

Thanks for the reply. Where could I find a good choice of Fonts to include, done a google but can't find much choice.
